Unfortunately, that's not the option. The propane company only fills their own
tanks and won't do the portable ones. So if I went with the 80-lb'er (or any
other size) I would have to haul it to and from the refill station. I could go
with two smaller ones, like 40-lb, but now I'm running into a tank freeze-up
issue. I live in NH, where things freeze up occasionally :-)
