Anybody on here buried a propane tank before when building? Trying to get some feedback on what to look for, best size, costs, etc. From my little research, it appears filling the thing in the offseason is the way to go as propane is much cheaper in the spring/summer. I'm thinking I'll get a 500G tank and would like to run a line for an outdoor gas grill as well. Someone school me on whether I'll notice much of a difference between having natural gas or propane running to the house.

There won’t be a difference.
But don’t bury it. Before you die it will leak. Then you’ll have to dig the ****ing thing up for a goddamned $.50 o-ring. Plus filling the thing will likely be a ****.
If you don’t want it visible, make a concrete box underground with a cover you can put an access door in to fill and maintain.
I’d get bigger than 500G. My sister had one for her trailer house and I’m thinking if it was big enough it wasn’t by much.
When I was in Sidney I had LP. I don’t remember how big the tank was but it was in that range and I had to have it filled at least once a winter.
