This is the last year I am going to be held hostage, I am going to buy my own tanks.

Good move.....but the companies are so busy delivering propane you might have to wait a while....

then you still have to buy propane to fill the tank.

If you don't have a contract with a delivery company ...you will be at the bottom of the list as priority goes to those with annual contracts.

I'd like to get 30 gallon tanks and take them to Tractor Supply to get them filled. I'm sure that won't be completely safe, but as long as I follow applicable code and regulations I should be ok.

I have to do more research on fittings and how to get my propane out of the rented tank.
