I have been reading the various gas bottle stove threads with great interest. I have been after a woodburning stove for ages as our heating is kerosene oil, which is expensive even though the prices have dropped a bit lately. Unfortunately as I have been made redundant a few weeks ago, I no longer have the cash to buy the secondhand ones I have been keeping an eye open for, hence the reason for the very cheap gas bottle idea. I have in my posession 5 old gas bottles that used to contain R22 and R404 refrigerent gas from a previous job a few years ago and was never able to take them back to the supplier, I will obviously have to safely remove any remaining gas into a recovery bottle and take it to a fridge gas suplier to be safely disposed of. They are slightly bigger than the calor/mac gas type cylinders and should be perfect providing they are made of thick enough steel. My question is, how thick is the steel on the calor bottles? I don't really want to use them if they are not thick enough.
