Default Dumb question - can I disconnect propane tank from my Weber grill?

Hi,

Ok, this is probably a dump question. I just got a portable Weber gas grill
which uses a mini 14.1 oz propane tank. I've never used these mini propane
tanks before. I know with the big 20 lb tanks you can connect and
disconnect them all you want. But can I disconnect these mini-propane tanks
before you've used them up?

I didn't look closely, but when I screwed the tank into the grill, it looked
there was something on the grill that was going to pierce the top of the
mini-propane tank. Does that mean that I have to use up all the propane
before I can disconnect it? I'm hoping that I can connect and disconnect it
as I please. It's a portable grill and I have a duffel bag for it, but the
propane tank sticks out a bit, so I wouldn't want to leave it connected
while transporting it.

I know, dumb question, but I've never used these mini tanks before so I'd
rather be safe than sorry.

Thanks!
Jay
