Propane in an enclosed space is an explosion and fire
hazard. Fumes from a leak will settle in low areas and
build up till they find a spark.
Put the tanks outside and plumb through the wall. Keep
the interior plumbing as simple (minimum fittings) and
short as practical.

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
