    Also from my calculations, the 1/4 lb Flame King fully filled with propane comes at 12 oz and carries exactly 50% of the BTU as a full canister of MSR IsoPro or Coleman Isobutane/Propane which both also come at about 12 oz. So it'd be good for short hikes/backpacking trips and saving 15x the cost on fuel (TSC Propane Refill vs IsoPro canister).

      The most that I can add to the bottle is 50 grams of LPG.

      @@Linus007 I got the same result, exactly 50 grams. Redoing the math, it cuts the BTU down to only about 22% that of an IsoPro canister or 11% of a 1 lb propane tank. It'll be able to boil about 2L of water with a pocket rocket style stove (30% efficiency) or 3.5L with a radiant stove (near 50% efficiency).

      @@caesardgreatest thank you for confirming the weight of independently. I have two of these tanks and they both come in at 50 g of propane fuel when I fill them. Butane is slightly heavier. In terms of cost I estimate about six cents of propane fuel fits inside of the container.

      I used a clear thermal label. In my situation, I am using an old Panasonic thermal typewriter from the late 1980s.

    these small tanks should be able to hold more than 50 grams of propane. 50 grams is 1.763 ounces, flame king says that these can hold 4.85 ounces or 137 grams. perhaps the best way to fill these is by keeping the bleeder closed, and checking the liquid level with the bleeder only when the filling valve is closed. fully filled it should weigh 13.85 ounces, or 392 grams.

      If you are careful on using lower settings that avoid pushing the flame away from the pot, you should get a few days of fuel use.
