[TheForge] Lp gas bottles

[Smoky]

My apologies.  I should have said 'There is no such Federal Law.'  I really 
was not aware there could be any such law anywhere.  There could very well 
be local rules that someone would not allow such a thing in a park or what 
ever like that , in a restricted area.  And in a public place where there 
may not be adequate ventilation for such things, I can certainly see having 
rules such as this.  I know from experience how the fresh air can be eaten 
up by gas burning.  (Portable heaters can use a lot of air up.)
