This way I know when a tank is empty. Yea I might have to trek outside to switch over the tank but I know I have a full one left to do so.

Keeping the second tank closed is your choice, BUT cold night, baby blowing snow, the chances of opening the valve too fast increases greatly.
Just easier to check the regulator when you are out anyway.
Once again your choice.
