Is there danger in taking a propane tank from the grill into the hot garage?

see attachment. Storage in an area of over 120 F is NOT recommended

I would never advise bringing a propane tank ANYWHERE indoors.

Ok, but what alternatives are there to avoid it becoming a missile? What are y'all doing with yours? Thanks.

Never ever put a charged propane tank anywhere within a structure.

Ive kept mine in the garage for many years. Never had a problem. For the 120 plus rule, what do you think the temp is in the compartment where the storage tank is located on the grill, considering the metal and in most cases a black cover. I'd be willing to bet its much higher than that.

Bury it.

What's the best up-to-the-minute source of information regarding cancellation of TV scheduled activities, rec center closures, etc., in advance of and during a major storm? I'm sure the Daily Sun will publish whatever they have as of publication for tomorrow, but the developer's web site doesn't seem to have an intuitive space for this type of information. I have the Villages app, but that doesn't even include all recreation activities yet so am not sure how situation-responsive it can be.

Is there another web site for cancellations? Thanks.

Yeah, but I can never remember where I buried them.

The online Daily Sun is publishing the cancellations.

Very funny.

I asked because our son, an engineer, told us not to put it inside. Air circulation as well as temperature CAN lead to explosion.

BTW, ever notice Home Depot doesn't store theirs outside?

I will move our grill to an inside sheltered corner of the lanai, and make sure all valves are in the off position. All furniture in the birdcage will be moved inside. And I will add 1 or 2 try down straps to the cover of the hot tub just to make sure the cover does not take off.

I was being serious. 4 to 5 shovelfuls should be enough to shelter it. Think "foxhole"

Back in Nj in Chatham Twp, a car caught on fire in a garage & 2 -propane tanks exploded & leveled the house. Never put any 20 lb tank inside any occupied dwelling.
