Agreed, but I'm paying less than $1 a pound, and delivery is $3.30 a pound.
$2.30 a pound seems like REALLY high overhead. I may have to re-think
putting in a propane cook top and fireplaces, and just stay with electric
and wood.


Whoa--- you're buying by the pound- delivery is by the gallon. 4.24
pounds per gallon- [ http://www.nwes.com/propane_info.htm ] So you're
paying more to get your tanks filled than we're paying for delivery.

If you don't need the portability you'd probably be better off having
a 100 gallon tank that gets filled at home. [especially if you are
considering adding some gas appliances.
