Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
All of the gas bottles that I've had in the past have been from a local scrapyard, and I've never paid more than a couple of quid for them.
Cheers, Michael.

go to your local recycling center(tips to us in lancs)you can normally have a word and walk away with something very cheaply.i will check the one out in blackrod for you as soon as i get chance
If anyone wants a constant supply of free gas bottles - come to the River Severn! There are hundreds of them floating up and down with the tide and of course all over the strand line. You would also be doing boaters a favour by removing them 
I have a couple here in Derbyshire, if you're passing by M1 J28 sometime you can have one for nothing. On any other forum this would probably sound like a daft question, but are you going to put gas in it?
yeah i gonna make a wood burner and a bbq if anyone is intrested check out them at OzPig! I can't aford to buy one so i'm gooa make one

i have been makeing fires from them for about 6 years on request they turn out rather well im currently turning one in to a gas forge few points to remember...
the brass fitting is on a tapered thread the bottle is never truly empty so watch when you undo it it reaches a certain point and can fly out
after 2 weeks standing in the rain with the fitting out ....it will still ignite from the gas inside !! you wil need to burn the vapour out at some point before you start grinding .
1/4 fill it with water and make sure you splosh it around the inside before utting in to it no matter how long you have left it stand.
that ozpig is way overpriced £5 scrap yard bottles and you can make one in 2 days flat go for it and good luck

Too far for you to travel i know, but opposite the train station i use is one of those gas bottle refilling/storage places, if the place is not open folks dump the empties outside, i reckon there was about 10 left there a few weeks ago all different sizes but deffo some of the small ones. I may relieve some of them one night on my way home
Iknow its to far for you Edinburgh but ive got loads o bottles all sizes if you or any one else is intrested all free to a good home,
Hi, One or two here on Ebay thats close to you. just be careful before cutting into them makesure all the gas is out before removing valve and then fill with water and leave to stand for a day at least give it a tap every couple of hours and refill with water. One is a 19kg propane and the others are 15kg butane but all good for making woodburners from. Anyway take a look at these links. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TWO-15KG-LARG..._bbq_Patio_Covers_Heating?hash=item2a06750460

try at a gas bottle suppliers !!- they will only swop like for like (named)bottles for refill !! but will always have other brands of bottle that people bring in but they can,t swop them and they end up with a few that peeps leave !! Thats how a got mine 
yea and fill them full with water to purge them completly before cutting !!!

No problem. Have you considered something like a couple of wheel rims? The SO took our BBQ to FR a couple of weeks ago so I made one. Two wheel rims, four bolts. Took me all of 20 minutes. Try not to get alloy rims.
