We used to use Freon tanks available from work. Now I pick up empty disposable helium tanks( same size) that are sold to fill party balloons.
I agree, DO NOT use the propane tank, for several reasons. It's all about safety. -
When the Coop fills tanks, either portable or permanent bulk, it is billed by actual volume delivered in Gal. The delivery system has a meter just like a gasoline pump. I've seen it! AND checked the state Cert stickers.

Fill by weight. Interesting. The local Coop where I get both 20 and 100 lb tanks filled has never weighed any of my tanks. Usually fill the 100 where it sits tied in the back of the truck. When the white cloud begins to escape from the vent, it's full. I've never had a tank relief valve pop.
Just thinking...
How would they weigh the 20lb tank permanently mounted under the neighbors camper?
Didn't light the forge today so I didn't try pouring water on the tank.

I haven't tried this, but I've heard that you can see the level if you pour water on the side of the tank after it's been running for awhile. I keep forgetting to try it. Maybe tomorrow if I don't forget again....

Northwest Blacksmith Association Founding Member Grant Sarver Passes
Fellow Blacksmiths
I am sorry to announce that Grant Sarver passed away this morning due to a aortic aneurism
Grant was a Founding Member of the NWBA, past Board Member and a very gracious supporter and contributer to our organization and the world of blacksmithing. He was a unique fire that burnt brightly amongst our forges and will be very much missed.
Our condolences go out to his family and we will post any services information on the NWBA Forum once they are determined.
