Welcome KDSChreck:
Propane is best left to the man who sold it to you. Many states have strict laws on handling propane. It leaks out and is heavier than air, so it goes to a quiet corner and lays there. It won't dissipate without fan forced ventilation. Then the slightest spark, even static electricity, will cause it to explode violently. Travel trailers have been completely flattened by this. Houses have had whole walls blown out. I knew a man who had been blown across the room 3 times trying to light water heaters; lucky guy died of natrual causes a couple of years ago.
Please, PLEASE, get help on this one; your life is worth more than the $200 you would save.
