Making a gas bottle wood burner

[Croydon Hillbilly]

Hi

I have managed to get the valve off my 15kg butane bottle. Question is, how can I safely embark with cutting with my angle grinder. Have filled it with water overnight. Any advice would be appreciated. Dont want to luanch myself on a maiden flight up the garden path, if you see what I mean!

That's enough. The water displaces any gas and, when emptied, is replaced by air. The water will come out a bit oily - if it makes you feel better you can refil with water and empty a few more times. You could even fill to three quarters and tip onto it's side and then cut at the top.

Yep, refill with water at least once more and allow to air, then go for it.

Another project I have to do, been putting it of for ages, mind you I have been having fun.

Hmm, got my eye on a small gas bottle that's been left unattended for a while now. An extra stove for my woodland retreat maybe? Need to learn to weld anyway, so having a project could be good way to learn
