    Is this also true of very small propane tanks, like the
    Coleman-stove variety? This is the propane I'm currently using with
    my Little Torch, in combination with the disposable oxygen bottles
    from Home Depot. I keep both types of tanks indoors in my basement
    studio, and it seems that many other jewelers a nd lampworkers do the
    same. It is certainly convenient and seems safe as long as one
    follows the usual torch- and gas-safety protocols. But is this a ba d
    thing? 

    This thread has me fretting way too much...
