[TheForge] Draining the lines

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Karen:
Prudence allays fear in this arena and it sounds like you are doing what 
is necessary.
Your redundant shutoffs ( one outside and one at the forge) are good 
practice.
Good ventilation for exhaust and ground vapors are required.
  Protecting delicate lines, especially around the forge is good too.
A thousand utter idiots somehow manage not to blow themselves up every 
day using propane BBQs. You are paying attention to safety and should do 
just fine. Playing with fire really is a lot of fun!..pf

I haven't started it up yet though. I know to check for leaks but when you shut down the gas from the tank, do I do anything to drain the line? I've got the whatever it's called little on off valve at the forge of course.
