re: Anyone have propane for their home and have an outlet outside?

My in-laws have a propane tank in their yard and paid to have a line ran to their patio so they could hook up their grill. I would think the peace of mind of not having to worry about the dang tiny tank running out at an inopportune time (you know it'll run out when you have 20 people over waiting for you to finish cooking and not on a Tuesday night when it's you and the wife grilling burgers) over paying a few bucks for the fittings....I would definitely pony up for the fittings rather than having to worry about swapping out tanks periodically, plus I'm sure the bulk propane is the cheaper option even after purchasing the fittings in the long run.
