Buy or rent propane tank?

[TheProfessor]

Do understand that the fuel type folks choose fuel types for many reasons.

Having dealt with propane for decades. Too many issues. Too many charges. Too many . . . well I could go on and on.

To do all over again and did have a choice. It would be oil. That is my opinion.
Other have their reasons for their choice.

If I was constructing a new house oil burner would be the choice.

Others disagree. And that is fine.

My 2 cents worth:
I've been getting hosed by the propane industry long enough.
I recently built a new home here and chose to go with oil heat. Water is indirect oil fired in the winter, and electric heat-pump 'fired' in the summer. All other appliances are electric. 'Portable' generator is propane with two 100# cylinders on-hand.

I like my oil burner... and the current run-up seems to be across the board.
I don't tend to switch suppliers though... I have used Stafford since I purchased the place in '96.

Of course this year, I will prebuy with the downside protection as oil futures are expecting a drop in prices... https://www.marketwatch.com/investin...-%20electronic
