Isn’t that the best place to store it? Maybe you should have asked who doesn’t?

Thanks for the link. I’ve read it’s a big no no to store in the garage and I never knew why or what the big deal was. I’m putting mine back in the garage. However you will notice anywhere you go to buy a tank they are always outdoors.

I think that's more to facilitate the swapping out than a safety measure

That's so the guy dropping off fulls and picking up empties doesn't have to go inside.

I have one that stays attached to my grill under the patio. Always in a shaded area.

My other one I use for crawfish boils is in the shed in the backyard.

I was grilling on a charcoal grill once and had a recently filled tank a few feet away on a patio. It was hot and the tank started releasing out of the relief value. Never seen that before and got nervous with the open fire so close.

I guess the tank was over filled?
