Bring grill inside, remove tank and leave out side. Too dangerous to leave propane indoors. Do a "Google" search.

You could get exchange tanks from Home Depot, Lowe’s etc and just give them the used tank or tanks when you leave & start anew next season. A few extra bucks and no propane to be worried about while you are gone

If anyone wants a full and unused "campers tank" of propane for those small grills let me know. I have an unused one in my garage since I moved down here. We had the "mini-Weber" up north and got rid of it. Those small grills work great but the BTU (heat) output is so low it takes forever to cook things. They are great for a burger or hot dog or 2 but other than that they don't have much power.

I never stored propane tank inside my garage. Most likely it will never leak or explode, but why take chance. When in Ok. When not in use it was tied to pole to keep the ok wind from blowing it over. Down here during high wind it tie it to my Palm tree.

I never store my propane tanks indoors. I am not comfortable with even the slightest risk of a tank or valve leak. I simply store them outside, out of sight and that is it.

Here is an article that talks about this topic: Can Propane Tanks be Stored Inside? | Hunker

You beat me to it. We did that when we were snowbirds.

Simple solutions for simple problems!

If you empty tank, you are polluting the air. Give the tank to a friend to use.

Best answer yet!

Our son, an engineer specializing in energy, said the tank should never be stored indoors.

If you store outside be sure it is not in the direct sun light.
I do not think most people will have a problem storing the tank in the garage but all you need to be is the one person that has the problem. I would empty the tank.
