OK, this was sent to me by my mother, who lives on the east coast,
Michigan, that's east of the Mississippi River. It was sent to her by
my cousin, I believe now lives on the west coast, Washington State,
that's west of the Mississippi. In case you're one of the too-tight
people, you don't need to read this, because I'm sure your gonna get
offended by some, or all, of it. But, for the people with an actual
sense of humor, here it is.

How do you cut those open without blowing your head off??

No, I'm not going to try this at home, so don't worry about me running off
half cocked.

I'm imagining maybe you charge it with CO2 or nitrogen or something before
cutting it open. Wrong track?

Cool stuff, you weirdo.

Sorry, I haven't webbed anything new for ages (the cabinet now has
shelves). There's new stuff going on, honest, I just haven't done the
camera work.

As to cutting them open, I posted our protocol to a welding ng a while
back. Basically you have a hazardous task to get the valve off, then
you can fill them totally with water and the actual cut is quite safe.

Filling it with water expunges the gas, emptying the water
refills it with normal air. Cut away!


Cool stuff, you weirdo.

Agreed, on both counts.

There's a problem with gas absorbtion into the inner surface of the
cylinder (often slightly rusty). You "empty" the cylinder, then you
either leave it standing or you heat the metal - then it outgases and
there's an explosion. It's not (usually) enough to injure you, but
it'll cost you a new pair of pants.

Your google exercise for the evening is to find the web site of the
guy who had this happen to him, whilst making halloween lanterns.

Please don't post any "advice" for cutting propane cylinders open
unless you've done a bunch yourself, and you've conducted a proper
risk assessment. My protocol for doing these is a couple of pages
long, and there isn't a single step that I'd omit.
