[TheForge] Propane Users tank sizes and usage

[Jerry Frost]

Ban on 100lb tanks? It must be a local thing, no 
problem getting one or many anywhere in AK.

20lb tanks tend to freeze up after an hour or so 
running my 1" "T" burner. Another problem with the new 
style "safeer" 20lb tanks is the flow restricter tends 
to shut off the flow at rates a propane forge uses. 
Sometimes you can turn it on slowly and not have them 
engage but it's a pain regardless.

A 40lb tank will go several hours without freezing up. 
I run a pair of 100lb tanks at home. Once I find out 
how much I'll be using I may go with a 500lb tank fro 
the shop.

If you're going to get one anyway I'd do it soonest 
unless there's a reason not to.
