Over on the Stained Glass forum, someone asked about keeping bulk tanks indoors and this led to an interesting discussion, with several posts made by the moderators of the forum.

And did you see where in the comment section, he says that there have been no incidents involving the bulk propane tanks and hothead torches? I’m inclined to think that he probably sells the dual fuel torches and doesn’t care much for the Hot Head anyway. I’m sure he is a very knowledgeable man, but thousands of lampworkers who use a hot head and bulk propane can’t ALL be brain dead, can they? Even some of the more famous lampworkers use/used Hot Heads with a bulk propane tank.
