Vapor feed is tricky.  It can be a real issue when deep-frying turkeys outside.
I usually bring the BBQ tank in overnight, that seems to cure the problem.  As
the propane in the tank evaporates the liquid body cools, and if it can't pick 
up
enough replacement heat from the ambient it eventually stops evaporating...

Liquid feed (forklift tanks) doesn't have that problem.  But few things (except 
motors)
take a liquid feed.  Big Bertha has a coolant-loop-heated evaporator to make 
the vapor
for its carburetor.

You can't use a forklift tank in place of a BBQ tank.  Not without dealing with 
the
liquid to gas phase change somehow.  Used to be you could invert a BBQ tank to
run a generator, but not since the OPD system was mandated.
