Empty Freon Tank ??? Do Not Throw Away your Empty Freon Cylinder Tank / Smart Recycling

[@btchhopperou812]

Cool idea... once again! Usefulness out of what would be waste for landfill(if not recycled in the 'normal' fashion). Good tutorial for those lacking ingenuity and needing step-by-step instruction... you should have been a teacher or professor my friend. Kudos, bravo!!

[@MrDKDIY]

Thank you

[@omrik3252]

Great job 👍 thanks for sharing! Make sure you let it cook by itself for a while... before you add any food, to burn away the chemicals... * I would try to add some intake holes

[@willyd1127]

Good job. Amazing how many people in the comments who could have done it better. Critics always gonna criticize. 😢

[@shawnsatterlee6035]

I made a smoker/grill out of 2 rims. Bottom rim is 16" and top rim is 15". Built the stand frame out of scrap angle iron and black steel pipe for legs. Used perforated steel for bottom and top racks and a lid off a old smoker. Runs right around 180°-200°F

[@edwinlipton]

I remember being busy once. I loved it.

[@captkleppto]

Awesome job for a small portable grill. Just to add to it, all you need is add a fire box to the side of it and a couple latches to the lid and you have yourself an indirect heated mini smoker!

EPA enters the chat... All refrigerants must be reclaimed before the tank is opened to the atmosphere and disposed of. Home and Gardens enters the chat... What a good re-purpose of an item that will be discarded. Please, no music next time.

this is more useful as a side smoke box, than a grill. or maybe a mini woodstove/heater.

[@wendellmcqueary8624]

This is funny, I worked at the place that made these cylinders, god knows how many we threw away (scraped) everyday. The funniest part is, that we also made portable grills at the same place. We made piggy-banks out of the cylinders if any of the workers wanted one. As a mater of fact, I still have one (same color blue) from 25 years ago when I worked there. lol.

[@wendellmcqueary8624]

PS: these cylinders were 134 Forane refrigerant cylinders, made at Worthington Cylinders in Claremore, OK. and the color is called forane blue.

[@lanebaumgardner4552]

Nice Sun shine reclamation there.........................should have taken your testing manifold and discharged the remaining pressure into a 5 gallon bucket of water and you could have been just like the pros.......wow! Suprised the EPA hasnt knocked down you door yet......but then again they might not give a crap! Great video!

Careful some refrigerants are explosive. Always look up MSDS sheets on all of these types of tanks. Grinding should always be done with care

Greetings from Brazil! Try to rough the edge of the tank close to the hinges, as the lid will close better. Decrease the size of the grill to fit inside the grill.

[@ThunderPantz01]

Great Idea and invention, but is there something wrong with the hinges? Why so hard tro move and does not seem to close all the way? are they to tight or some weld got in them? with those I expected the lid to slam shut on its own.

[@armedpatriot8611]

It doesn't close all of the way because the grate is laying over the edges.

[@davids7209]

Not to be a Negative Nancy, but I wonder if the cost of materials, electricity, and time were cheaper than just going to Lowes or some other vendor and buying one? I would also add that the grill makes it impossible to completely close the lid. If he had welded two angle pieces along the inside for the grill to rest on and then cut it to fit inside that would allow the lid to be closed fully. Then just weld a circular ring on the side of the lid with a movable ring to allow control of air being introduced into the grill.

Hi wonder if you can help , few years back my fridge freezer broke down and I ended up storing it outside to keep garden bits in .. I’ve recently moved and it’s ended up here, so we cut the metal from the back and there was a smell of nail polish remover which I’ve found out was the gas .. It was outside about an hour and then put in the shed . Do you think the gas will be completely out of it now or is there away to remove the gas to make it safer ?

Next time instead of doing all that sanding, get some " EASY - OFF OVEN CLEANER .spray the tank completely and let set for about 7 to 10 minutes, hose it off with water ( just DONT get any water spray on you ) This WILL remove any and all paint and rust and save a LOT of time.

Not a good idea! Those knobs on the bottom can wear thin due to abrasion and can fail causing your air tank to turn into a rocket! That’s why they put that special valve on the tanks so they don’t get reused.
