Storing my propane grill while away for summer
 

I'll be heading north soon. Last year I left the propane grill on the back concrete pad, covered, but someone suggested that if we have the strong winds that come when the remnants of a hurricane pass over TV, my grill could become an unguided missile.

I'll give it a very thorough cleaning, but it's still going to smell awfully delicious to vermin, so I'm wondering about storing it in my garage. Any suggestions on how to store it over the summer, and if storing in the garage, how to make it less savory for critters?

We have been storing our well cleaned grill in the birdcage for the last seven summers with no issue, including through hurricane Irma. It’s a very heavy Webber grill that would be very difficult to become a projectile. If that were to happen, we would be dealing with much worse problems.

In the past we rolled the grill into the glassed in lanai.

Shove a couple of sandbags on top of it.
If it blows away with that weight on, your house will be gone as well.
If you took everything from garden/yard that could become a missile, you would have to take your shrubs and trees in as well!

If your grill is propane and you store it indoors, remove the tank first and store that outdoors.

We had rats around our house, set a trap and caught two rats.
Two weeks later I pulled my cover off my weber grill, and the whole back of the cover was eaten away.

Up north, I have used moth balls to keep mice from nesting during the looooong cold winters.

return it and get your core charge back

I have no idea what you are talking about here.

First time you purchased, they charged ~$50.
Refills are ~$20.
Get your tank cost back............deposit..........core..........etc .

I would use all of the propane (may have to invite the neighbors to a BBQ) and then store the empty grill and propane tank in the garage.

Thank God for moths , right!:bigbow:

Clean it real good with degreaser/dish soap, remove lp gas bottle, store gas in flower bed on shady side of the house, store grill in garage.

ah...I understand now.

Not gonna do it, but I understand.

Propane tank rental

My friend lived in a Villa. A strong unexpected, non weather forecast gust of wind funneled through the narrow space between his house and neighbor. It picked up their proprane grill like it was as light as a feather. It hit my friend's house, denting the siding on his house. Strange things can happen. Storing in the garage is safe idea as far as it being left outside. Critter wise... good cleaning I would guess.
