I know people say not to keep it in the garage......and I do understand that, but we do keep our grill in the garage when the house is unoccupied......making sure that the tank is not full and the valve is closed tight.

You do not want an overfull tank to expand and have the "extra" propane leave the tank from the relief valve. Propane is heaver then air, so it can settle in low spots until it finds an ignition source.

I do not hear of many homes blowing up due to stored propane tanks....so perhaps it is an acceptable risk......not sure what else we would do?

Although I do like the idea of a storage box outside....perhaps big enough for both propane tanks? I'll look into that.
