    5 lb propane tank

    OK, quick question. Where is the best place to find a 5 lb propane tank? I just ran to Wall Mart and Home Depot and they only had 20 lbs and above. Also does anyone know where I can find the hose where you can go from the stove to the little buddy heater without taking the hose off? Thanks!

    Hello

    Thanks so much for suggesting the hot glue gun.    I used it on the walls of my van today and it worked great!    I tried spray glue but the fumes were terrible and it diddnt really hold the polyisolate foam on there to well.
