You neglected to comprehend my first sentence;
"You can still hook it up to gas, a bulk propane tank, a fifty gallon
tank is small and will last all season, maybe two seasons,"

Every homeowner has plenty of room for a 50 gallon propane tank, 4'
tall x 3' wide:

The typical grill tank that most people need to have refilled or
exchanged is filled by weight (20 pounds). A 50 gallon tank is filled
by gallons, and its capacity is equal to more than twenty of those 20
pound grill tanks. Also for safety and proper operation all propane
tanks are filled to no more than 80% of their capacity. The 50 gallon
tank is supplied with a gauge so that one will know when to contact
their propane supplier for a refill. A 50 gallon propane tank is very
adequate for smaller restaurants... one or two will be adequate to
heat a small house (1,000 sqft).
