If you ever decide to use it more often at your house.  I would recommend buying the adapter hose and buy a 20lbs tank (at Walmart for about $30) and fill them yourself.  Or go to one of those places that you buy the first filled tank for like $50 and trade it in when empty for a full one for about $15-20.  If you only use the thing a 5-10 times a year then using the 1lbs disposable green tanks are not a bad option.

As for knowing when empty?...you either take it off and feel the weight of it and the listen to the pinging sound when tapped.  I put my empty ones in recycling.  They seem to take them here.  They really are pretty safe.  If over heated/pressurized they have a blow out plug on the top collar.

BL:  As Orange79 sez...just always have a couple extra on hand.  They are safe storing in a garage with normal precautions.

EBay has a good deal on the adapter hose.  Personally, I stay away from the generics for this...use the genuine product.

Finally, one thing to remember if you buy a brand new 20lbs tank and fill it yourself.  The tank's life cycle is only 10 years.  After the date stamped...a propane dealer is not supposed to re-fill it.  Getting it re-certified costs about the same as buying a new tank.
