My difficulty with the larger tanks is not with obtaining them or 
refilling them, but with the fire marshall.  I have 2 - 100lb tanks and 
he did a back flip on his first inspection (he's new).  He didn't like 
my coal forge either, but I still have both and use them.  Mostly coal.  
he said it was illegal per the NFC - national fire code or something - 
to have a 100 lb tank inside.  I know lots of them are used that way.  
The problem may arise if you have a problem, then they hang you out to 
dry.  Just be careful and use common sense, check for leaks, etc.
