    refill your disposable canisters

    The Jet Boil is awesome, been using mine for years, always got heaps of use out of each gas can, last 4 day trip used 1 part can and a full with 2 of us using it flat out, using it not just to boil but it also heat fry pan

    I mean the pie you buy on the way to you hunting spot is worth twice what your cooking gas costs are. LOL
    Tight arses!!
    I'm happy with the title of tight arse. Means I'm happy for the kids or others to borrow gear. A 9kg cylinder at $25 works out around 82 fills or 32 cents a fill for the little cans.

    I still can't get mine to seal into the cylinder, despite filing off the thread identical to Vietnamcam's photo, may be my bottles are slightly different. The fitting seems to thread all the way in, just doesn't seal without the rubber o-ring, although the plunger should seal against the seal inside the cylinder valve

    Here are the 2 that I have done, first one i started from the front and took off 1/2 thread at a time hoping it would eventually seal, 2nd one is similar to what Vietnamcam has done and taken thread off the back, neither one seals

    Hard to tell from the angle of the photo. I completely removed the thread by probably three to four turns from the pointy end. Your trying to get the brass section further in by the thread starting to screw on further up the silver section.

    I only have just 3 full threads at the front most of it is only two threads.
    Mine winds in 5.5 turns, if yours is only winding in a couple then it is binding on the threads and you need to grind more off.

    Sorted it by slicing the rubber seal that came on it in half and using the front tapered half, still can't figure out why the fitting was locking into the cylinder fine and engaging the gas valve but wasn't enough to seal against the cylinders rubber seal, maybe the cylinders valve is too small

    I took about 3/4 of the threads off, just about 2 threads left as VC did, turned mine in the Lathe, filed off two of the 'finger' castelations (word?) to get it into the 3-jaw chuck......works like a dream!!!!!!!

    Hi guys, i received a couple of PMs asking me to machine their 'thingy-mabobs'....but due to the risk of injury if 'something' goes wrong and the investigation afterwards, i have had to decline...

    this is how i 'Rangied' mine.....YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK....

    First, filed off two of the 'finger holds' in the '4-O'clock position.....mine was made of plastic....



    Then held it in a 3-jaw chuck in the lathe and took all but approx 3 threads off.....start here and take gradual cuts (.5 mm) untill it screws right into your BBQ bottle....DONT trim the rubber bung....



    Sweet as....

    Well it's clear from the images that we're not all receiving the identical looking units, therefore a bit of variation will apply in what to do. Not rocket science though, unless you f*%k it up and launch yourself into space

    Fuk, they must have sold out of the 'good ones' and had to make a quick batch of plastic tikka ones......

    Hi guys, i asked my mate who had an old BBQ in his back garden rusting away, could i have the 'rubber bung' off the end of the nozzle......he gave me the whole hose.....i then had a brainwave (uncommon for me)

    and i took the brass threaded ferule (kiwi thread) of this hose and fitted it on the yankee one!!!!!!....the nut was really tight (loctite) but i managed to take it off without rounding the hex on the nut....hey presto!!!!!!
