use a weed burner with the brass connector. it will screw right on the tank and it has a high pressure regulator and a 10 foot hose. use a plastic squeeze clamp to hold the valve open once you get the torch lit. also use something to place the burner 10 feet or so away from the tank and higher off the ground than the top of the tank. I like 7 feet or so cus propane is heavier than air and will puddle on the ground in the low lying areas. place the burner on the upwind side of the tank incase of leaks. if you smell raw propane use soapy water to check for leaks before lighting the weed burner .
Thanks again for the feedback. I think that the weed burner is going to be the least expensive and the safest do to the size and mounting abilitys. Let the burn off begin.....
