Goo,

    I use a disposable 14.1 oz. (400g) propane tank, with the small
    disposable tanks, removing the pre-set regulator when not in use also
    removes the risk of leaks or explosions, making them relatively safe
    for in-home use. The small amount of fuel available also limits the
    danger of large quantities of gas leaking. 

    This is the size tank I have gotten approval from a local fire
    marshal to have in my condo, and is the only size tank I can keep at
    our in-office jewelry studio. This size tank would not be acceptable
    for a jewelry manufacturing operation but I have been told any larger
    capacity propane tank would require having the tank stored out of
    doors with a line plumbed in, and the line inspected to make sure 
it's
    up to code.
