I pulled apart my metal canister and replaced the charcoal. DO NOT follow the procedure on Samba of the guy who drills the hole in. I did that. Did not work and just made more work for myself and a hole in the can that didn't need to be there. Here's everything you wanted to know about the guts of the metal canister and how to put it back together.
