I had squeezed the torch bottle. I did read the posts on purifying the propane but I didn't bother. BradC had also suggested double filters and I think also deep froze his bottle to reduce any moisture the propane may have had. For me, I just draw the best vacuum I can get with my equipment and leave it sit overnight to ensure I don't have a leak, then load my propane.

I also usually install a filter drier but with this small machine I didn't bother. I guess time will tell.

Your idea with the kill-o-watt I believe will work. But I haven't tried it.!! Maybe X-ringer will chime in here.
I see that there are whole home devices like the TED that can measure all your usages 240v. My multi meter and clamp on amp meter are usually enough.

Get to it this weekend, there's a pile of money to be saved here. Make those tools in your tool box realize some savings EcoRenovator Style!!
