Can I convert this propane heater? Or am I nuts?

I found a propane heater I really like for my 6 x 8 GH. It's very small, has a thermostat, and is made for greenhouses. Its price doesn't look to bad. The problem? It's made in the UK and I'm in the US.

Assuming I can get one over here with out paying a ton for shipping (it doesn't look like it would weigh much) do you think it's possible to convert it so it could run off of a US 20 gallon propane tank?

Here it is:

I would check the specs as to the size of propane cylinder you need, some heaters need a large tank, otherwise sould be easy to convert
