Lastly, what size would you recommend for occasional use of the fireplace?
I have called a couple companies but it’s very difficult to get clear answers to my questions.
Thanks!

DOT Tanks filled on site need to be 10' from a source of ignition and 3' horizontally from an entry point below the relief valve discharge , 10' from an intake to direct vent appliance. I'm assuming you're going to buy a 100# tank from one of the box stores. If it's not filled on site 5' from any source of ignition, openings into direct vent gas appliances, or mechanical ventilation air intakes.
