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? :)

The only thing to do is make a wood burner out of them - there's plenty of good designs on the net.

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 ;)

Here wishing i was out there
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
and this one too http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tempest-TX300...arden_Hearing_Cooling_Air?hash=item4ceee65ed1

Thats how a got mine :D yea and fill them full with water to purge them completly before cutting !!!
