Even where recycling programs exist, canisters usually have to be completely empty and punctured to be accepted. <\/p>\n<p>Enter Jetboil\u2019s ingenious <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004N5SJ92\/cooltools-20\">CrunchIt recycling tool<\/a> ($6). First you screw the CrunchIt onto the canister, which opens the valve and vents the remaining drops of fuel. Then you press down on the lever, which punctures the canister with a steel tooth. As you unscrew the tool, you can place a couple more holes for good measure. The CrunchIt is completely made of steel so it\u2019s unlikely to ever break (I\u2019ve used mine for years), and comes with a plastic guard so you don\u2019t accidentally damage anything with the tooth. Some people will argue you can achieve the same thing with a nail and hammer, but I can\u2019t imagine why you\u2019d risk a stubbed thumb or a gashed finger to save a measly $6. <\/p>\n<p>Buy this once and you can safely recycle canisters forever. FYI the CrunchIt will work with any EN417-compliant canisters sold in North America (MSR, Jetboil, Primus, etc). It\u2019s not designed to work with the blue \u2018Campingaz\u2019 canisters found in Europe or the green Coleman propane tanks.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punctures butane fuel canisters for recycling ($6)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31094"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31094"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31094\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31099,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31094\/revisions\/31099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
