No argument from me on that point, Steve, but what if this turns out to 
be a one-shot deal for the OP, who hasn't been camping in 20 years? For 
a "test run" camping trip, the disposable canisters might make more 
sense. If things don't go well, for some reason, then he is out only a 
few dollars. If things do go well and the camping outings continue to 
occur on a regular basis, then, by all means, a bulk tank and fittings 
would be cheaper and more convenient.
