Can't help you since I haven't looked for them, but maybe this will work for you. propane coupler

This originally worked for me when I posted it and tested it. I changed the link today so it should be good to go.

yep. if you have one of those anyone can refill your small bottles. but....

bring the tank from your bbq. it'll last for weeks at 3 meals a day.

I once heard that great minds think alike.

Obviously another theory shot.

Takes me to Cabela's but no product.

I use a 1 gallon bottle and a "tree" and connect other stuff to it. Here's a pic of Cabellas re filler gizmo. The ones I've tried like this only fill a bottle about half way.

If you highlight all of the first posted link, it well take you to the coupler.

Harbor freight has these available in their stores also.

You have to invert the big tank to let the propane flow as a liquid into the small can. If you cool the empty small can in the frig or freezer they will fill faster and easier.

The green bottles and also blue similar bottles are available at most hardware stores in Baja and also super mercados. But the cost is about 80 pesos which is double what you pay in the States and it makes no sense. You are far better off with a small or midsize propane tank or bring a case. Since the 1lb units last about 1-2 days its pretty expensive and wasteful-since the tanks get tossed. I think 10-20lb are excellent for camping with a tree - It holds the lantern up. I pay about 80-100 pesos to fill up my 10lb tank from gaspasa which is a 1000% savings over 1lbers.
