"Advice on how to create wood burning stoves is already widespread on the internet. This is not only dangerous, but unlawful. Subsequently, Calor will consider pursuing legal action against these websites and anyone who is found to be unlawfully tampering with cylinders."
As I've discussed this on other forums, good luck to Calor. Might be worth putting the warning about commercial gas cylinders still being the property of the respective companies. It's a con of course, because I paid a 'deposit' for my BBQ bottle. Each time I take it in, it's not filled, it's swapped, so I don't keep the same bottle, therefore it's a little hard to understand why my deposit disappears after 5 years...
Saying that, my two burnt out bottles I found which I couldn't have identified even if I wanted to are in the process of making my wood fired hot tub.  -  tim_n
