Ask yourself a question. When was the last time you heard of a BBQ propane tank exploding? The fact is you haven't because it isn't something that happens.
All a hot propane tank will do is raise the internal tank pressure. The tank will start venting when it hits about 375 PSI. Normal pressure on full tank on a 100 degree day is about 175psi. Even at 125 degrees in Death Valley, it probably won't start venting. No amount of sunlight in Florida is going to cause that.
Put your grill wherever you'd like and don't worry about it blowing up. If it starts hissing, look for the bonfire that it's sitting on, and put that out first
