This takes you out of the contract with a gas company.
They also have a flex line that is listed for use instead of having to thread black iron pipe.
A 100 gallon tank is a reasonable size. Of course if you intended to heat the house (expensive !) as well you would need something bigger.
Just for general information : In France we chose between the following capacities : 13kg (cooking) 35kg (cooking, hot water) often twin bottles. Then big tanks, in the open or buried, from 1000 to 3200kg (heating the house).

I'm sure there are strict regulations on gas installation in the US so I suggest calling a professional to have the job properly done.
