Default Barn Furnace

I am putting our old home furnace in my pole barn. It is an 85,000 BTU set to use propane. Because it would be hard to transport bigger propane cylinders, would it be possible to hook up a couple of 20 lbs tanks? I would be heating the barn only on the days I am out there, not continuously.

Thanks for the input

Why not put in a 500 gallon tank? Propane doesn't age and you
might get a better deal on the fuel in the off season.
I don't remember if anyone makes a 250 gallon tank or so.
Hooking up cylinders in parallel is ok but how long will a couple 20
pounders last?
