Got some really old 14 ounce handheld propane torch cylinders in the

While it would be fun to take them out in the woods and lock and load on
them from a safe distance, that's probably not the recommended disposal
method. I was thinking of just opening the burner valve on the partially
used one in the back yard and letting all the propane escape, then
screwing the burner in to each of the others and do the same.

Better ideas?

Maybe some of the environmentalists can tell you if it's better to burn
off the propane or let it escape. I guess it depends on how rusted they
are. Is it really substantial or just cosmetic? If it's not badly rusted
you could ask around if someone wants them for free. But if there is any
doubt, better to use your idea.
