I'm planning to build a gas forge and have been looking into buying or leasing a couple of forklift-size propane cylinders. The guy I spoke with at the local propane dealer said that those come in two flavors. One has a valve for providing the propane in liquid form (this is the type that's actually used on forklifts, according to him); the other has a valve to provide propane as a gas (he doesn't carry these). I assume I need the gas version for a forge. Is that correct? Have others run into problems finding cylinders with the appropriate type of valve? Do most people here use the forklift size cylinders, or is there a better option?
Thanks. Bert
