Would it be best to put the whole grill in the garage? Or does it get above 120F (the alleged heat limit for the propane tank, although I assume it can actually withstand more heat before being dangerous?) in a closed garage in the summer?

What are the best and safest options here to avoid both broken glass and tank explosion?
Drill a couple holes in the concrete pad with a hammer drill and put in some anchors. Attach a ratchet strap to the grill and anchors and secure down the grill nice and snug.
