Question

Lowes has heaters and such on clearance already. I picked up a propane Reddy Heater that should be big enough to handle my whole house if needed for $89. It can go up to 135k btu and heats 2900 sq ft.

Now I just need to figure out how to stockpile some propane appropriately. I already have a couple of 20lb tanks but would need something much bigger for a serious power outage in the winter. If I wanted to store a couple of 100lb tanks would the propane at some point go bad? My Google searches only turned up the fact the tanks are rated for a 12 year life span but nothing on the propane itself.
