Small tanks can freeze up with a lot of use at once so go no smaller then 10
Gal. but you could put your 100# on a big wheeled dolly or trailer to make
it easier. But if you have the funds the 500# would be the way to go

Folks,

I have a Whisper Dayy and really do like it. I would
keep 100 pound propane tank on hand, because that is
about 3 to 4 weeks worth of propane for me this time
of the year. Because of some elbow damage, moving
around a 100 pounder is difficult for me. Plus my
house is elecvated about my smithy and my storage
building is on a lower elevation. I have been using 20
pounders, I seem to have 6 of them. I do use propane
for a jewelers torch and a shop heater, but not that
much. 

My question is simple you use 20 pounders? or even 30
or 40 pounders, as oppsed to 100 pound tanks? I am
think about having my local Coop put in a 500 pound
tank after I put up my foundry building, would you
recommedn that I do that now and not weight for the
new building?

Jerry
