I thought of using a hose from my large tank for my Buddy heater but I move it from the bathroom area to warm up the shower areas on cold fall nights to the front area afterwards. I have yet to try to refill the tanks.
My vote is for the 5 lb bottle and hose. It seems a little spendy at first, but it pays for itself pretty quickly when buying propane at bulk prices. With adapter hose, I always have the option of using one of my 30 lb bottles also.
If you ever saw how thin the metal is on those 1 lb cylinders, you wouldn't want to play with refilling them!
