Looks like its been cut in half with a gas torch :shock:

Acetylene cylinders are filled with a porous material, not sure what it is, it is there to absorb the acetone/aceylene mixture. Without it the cylinders would be very dangerous. :lol:

This is what could happen :lol:

Kapox, acetone is absorbed by the kapox and the acetylene is disolved in the acetone Open the valve, acetylene is released, the acetone is retained by the kapox

I live in Portugal where barbeques are made from butane cylinders split lengthways, drilled for airways, with legs welded on! I kid you not. But they are painted in a chic ultra modern black!
