The #1 Recommended Gift For the Ice Angler in your life
Back in 2018, the team here at Ice-Inc.Info stumbled upon a game-changing product that has since become an integral part of our ice fishing adventures: the Flame King refillable 1lb propane cylinder. Instantly, we all embraced this innovation, as it addressed a glaring issue we often encountered while out on the ice - the sight of overflowing trash cans filled with single-use propane cylinders. In a world where the mere mention of single-use straws sparks outrage, the idea of single-use steel canisters seemed almost unthinkable. Shockingly, between 40-60 million single-use propane cylinders are sold in the US every year. Flame King set out with a noble goal: to significantly reduce this wasteful practice, and since 2017, they've been making a real dent in those numbers, effectively reducing waste measured in the millions.
For avid ice anglers like us, who rely heavily on portable heaters designed around 1lb propane cylinders, Flame King's refillable cylinder was a game-changer. While some heaters can be adapted to run on larger refillable tanks, the importance of traveling light on the ice cannot be overstated. At Ice-Inc.Info, we've exclusively relied on Flame King's 1lb refillable cylinder from day one. Initially, consumers were skeptical, suggesting that refilling disposable cylinders could be done using DIY methods found online. However, safety and legality concerns make this an unsuitable approach. Propane requires room for expansion, and refilling disposables, though technically possible, lacks DOT certification for a good reason.
Here's the kicker - most anglers purchasing disposable 1lb propane cylinders are often unaware that they're paying more for the steel cylinder than the propane inside. For those of us who've made the switch to Flame King's 1lb refillable cylinders, we've quickly realized that the convenience factor is just the tip of the iceberg. The real advantage is the substantial cost savings. The refill kit comes complete with a stand, refill nozzle, and one cylinder, allowing you to top off your cylinders after a day of use. We all keep 2-3 extra cylinders on hand, based on the duration of our outings. It's a pleasure to head out onto the ice with full tanks, as opposed to the typical 3/4 empty disposable cylinders and a few backups.
Refilling these cylinders is a breeze, taking just seconds, and the savings have added up to thousands of dollars since we first adopted them in 2018. It's a rarity in this day and age to find a product that not only saves time, money, and reduces waste but also comes at a lower cost. That's precisely what makes Flame King Refillable cylinders our #1 recommended gift for any angler in your life. So, gear up for a more eco-friendly and budget-conscious ice fishing season with Flame King, and say goodbye to single-use propane cylinders for good!
