[TheForge] Converting a propane tank to a gas forge

[Paul N]

Done. As it turned out, only 1 of the 4 was so nasty tight that I needed 
the "cheater". Of course, that was the first one I tried.
I was able to get the others with just an 18" pipe wrench, and a bar 
shoved into the collar (tank on it's side)

I filled them all with water, and about that time, the mosquitoes found me.

I'll cut into them probably this weekend.

Thanks all for the suggestions.
