In a bout of act first think later, I purchase a backup tank of BBQ propane.

But nowhere to store this thing.

Any safety issues if I keep it under a pressured treated deck? Under the
BBQ itself is not an option.

That is where I keep mine. Never had a problem in 45 years.

But there's always a first time. Did you see that fertilizer plant
explosion on the news from West TX? Well, if that propane tank blows,
it will look just like that fertilizer plant, and people will die for
miles around your house, and many homes will be destroyed. Your best
bet is to take it about 20 miles away from any buildings, and leave it
outside with a tarp over it. Be sure to put up signs that say "Danger
Explosives - Do not Go near!". Then take photos of the tank and the
signs in case someone does go near it, and dies, you at least have court
evidence when you're sued for murder.
