Reply to comment by festerwl in I have a ventless propane fireplace insert that had a 100 gallon tank outside. Can I replace it with a refillable 10 gallon tank? by KevinAnniPadda
Ah, good thoughts! I'm in Coastal North Carolina. Rarely gets below freezing, but we've had a lot of nights in the 30s this winter. It's on the north side and will be regularly shaded.
The tank is just outside the fireplace. Maybe 4 feet of thin metal piping for it. Would insulating the pipe be worth it?

That close the 20lb tank should be fine. Depending on how large the heater is you may only run into problems when it's very cold and the tank is low.

Second this. I use a 100 lb tank for my entire off grid cabin in Alaska. It flows fine until about -30F or so.

Unless you want to buy the tank, most places place a tank for free with the assumption you'll buy gas.
