I think renting a big tank and having a propane company fill me up would be easiest, but I have a couple questions. Do they make you sign any contracts for specific time frames, (one or two years for example)or is it usually month to month (what I would prefer)? Also, don't propane companies pretty much double the going rates of propane, per gallon? My mom rents a tank from AmeriGas and they charge her over $4.00 per gallon when I've seen stores and service stations advertising as low as $2.10 per gallon. Are the big companies always that much more expensive?
Don't like the price?, buy small tanks and rotate them yourself
