I have a medium-size tank (80 lb ?) but generally use the 20 lb. BBQ tanks. They are only 16-20 bucks. If you have a fire built then you can heat some water for your solar camping shower.

2,500 gallons? How big is your house and how cold does it get?
I've got about 1,750 sq/ft and it routinely gets below zero. The most I've used is 1,100 gals, and that was 2 years ago when we had got after night of -25 and highs hovering around 0.
