Why would he not just refill the bottle he already has?
This makes no sense.
Better yet, wouldn't the meth cooker go to Costco, Walmart, Big R, Tractor Supply, a hardware store, Cenex farm store, etc. and get a new, empty tank to steal his anhydrous ammonia with?
Oh, right, he is doing his cooking out in the woods on a camp stove, and he needs the propane for the stove, then when it gets empty he uses it to steal the AA from a local farmer, then when it is empty again he goes and trades it for a full propane tank.
right.

These tanks are not refilled at Walmart! They go back to the LP providers where they are inspected, cleaned , pressure tested then filled.
