Agreed. My dad used to be a Canadian distributor for a company that manufactured a refill system for the smaller "disposable" tanks. The only reason why they are considered disposable is that not many people have the equipment to refill them. At the beginning of an RV trip my dad would fill his auxillary 60lb propane tank and then refill the 1lb tanks as they emptied out. One 1lb tank would do about 3 seperate barbeques for my parents so they managed to get approximately 175 refills out of their auxillary tank.
