[TheForge] Propane Users tank sizes and usage

[Bob Willman]

	Tanks under 40# require the new safety valves which limit the rate
at which gas can be romoved without automatic shutoff.

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 Dan

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
