Suggestions go from common sense to ridiculous. So, here is mine... First, I would drain the tank as much as is practical outside. Makes sense to me. Second, I would bring it inside. Whether you are going to run the heat or not is a matter of using common sense. If there are a lot of vapors from the leaking tank, I would not use anything with a flame. That includes the propane salamander and the wood stove. Electric heater would be much safer since it uses no flame. Third, while it is nice and comfortable to do your work in a nice warm shop, it is safer to turn off the heat and just get the job done.
I notice that there are a number of suggestions on how to deal with the leak. I suggest ha those folks have not read your complete post. I clearly read that you are REPLACING the tank, not REPAIRING it. That would seem to me to eliminate the need for repairing it.
So, good luck with your tank replacement and hopefully there will not be a lot of issues with stubborn fasteners or other difficulties.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
