Now that I'm familiar with how to remove a propane tank valve, what if
I filled the tank about halfway with water, plumbed in regular black pipe
plumbing with a sturdy tee with blowoff valve set for like 200 psi and
a beefy gate valve, and set it on my outdoor propane burner (for deepfat
turkey frying) to generate steam for steam cleaning? The tank's supposed
to be good to 250 psi. Could this generate enough steam to do anything
useful? Steam whistle at a logging show? Anything?

I figure 25,000 BTU/hr would make about 6 CFM of steam at 2 bar (29.4
PSI). That's neglecting losses; I just used heat of vaporization
and density of steam.
