Default Portable LP Tanks

I have an onboard LP tank (23 gallons I think) and it is getting expensive to get it filled every two weeks. The delivery charge is $10 on top of the fuel price. I am going to upgrade to a catalytic heater next payday, and that will reduce my fuel consumption significantly. But I think I can get a better deal from the propane cylinder exchange from my local grocery store. Then we wouldn't have to pay the delivery fee, and we wouldn't have to wait around all afternoon for the delivery guy to show up. I don't want to commit to a large 200-300 gallon tank.

Is it possible to plumb in these exchangeable cylinders? What concerns might there be?

Here is a photo of my existing tank:
