I mostly use them during hunting season for lighting with my Buddy heaters. They are an important back up prep. Reuse is better than recycle if you can do it properly. If you're likely to shoot yourself in the foot while drawing then you probably should pass on this money saving operation. Handling gunpowder and propane both involve risk.
