I think the big box stores are only doing tank swaps these days and they are ok as long as you let them settle and don't slosh them around for an hour before use.

I know that you won't leave the BBQ tank in your home when you are not actually torching but as long as you are sedate when moving the tank to reach the torch you shouldn't have any issues with gunk in the tanks getting into the torch.

Oh and don't forget to make sure your hose is labeled "type T".
Some of the welding torch hoses are not made to work with propane and will chemically decompose and clog your torch with gummy junk that will clog up a hot head torch which isn't worth getting cleaned and cost you a pretty penny to send a two gas torch back to the maker to have it cleaned.
