Rick -
Check closer - the cannisters on my '79B aren't hermetically sealed -
they just appear to be. The bottom one inch is a threaded on cover.
Mine opened fairly easily. Someone here on the list suggested buying
new charcoal at an aquairum store. I just washed mine with soapy water,
rinsed well, and dried.
