I've chopped up two calor bottles to turn into "no-pressure " vessels - we used one for a vacuum chamber.
What I did was remove brass top so largish hole. Filled with water several times, including with washing up liquid, emptied out, filled with
clean water and left for a day or two.
Cut with an angle grinder. Wear good clothing, gloves, face mask etc etc.
I also welded a return feed for my Mini tank when I turboed that. Cleaned out tank in above fashion. Then welded tube to side, THEN drilled through
tube and into tank.

I have other BBQ's too but i just wanted to have a little project to crack on with!
I have tried to screw out the brass valve but to no avail 
Gusto, It did have a deposit on it about 5 years ago! but Shell Gas is no longer operating on the bottles side so no one will take them back - believe
me i have tried!
Think i will try to drill through the brass valve.
