OK, so I got my lightly used stove (freestanding fireplace, whatever you want to call it) and I now need to set it up. Looking for a tank... I plan to start with a 120 gallon tank and probably add a second 120 gallon at some future date as I convert more of the house to gas. A pair of 120 gallon tanks has an advantage over a single 250 or larger because they can be located closer to the house. Looking for any advice in general (and if anybody knows of an affordable tank, new or used, in or near Connecticut...).
The local gas company, of course, would like to rent me a tank for around $100/year, but then I'm locked to that particular gas company. They'll sell me a tank for around $1000. Home Depot sells what looks to be the right tank for under $500 but the guy at the gas company says it might not have the right valve for them to fill it from the truck.. I'm trying to get an answer from the manufacturer on that.. Then I'd have to buy a regulator, too, which I've found for sale no place but ebay.
