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?
For 15 years I have left the grill and propane tank in the garage every summer without incident. Garages here don't seal that well so I never worried.
