Just curious; where do you store the spare tank- inside, outside,
shed?

I wonder if different locales have local regulations about storing
them...


I have two tanks outside attached now. Been in triple digits for
~ 20 days, high 117°F. Nothing broke or exploded, yet.


Last week hit 119°F. and two other days that hit 118°F., and we're
still in triple digits. One tank is installed in the enclosed base
of our grill, another is installed in the base of our patio
heater. The spare is outside, but sits under a deep overhang of the
roof. --


A couple of weeks ago, in Las Vegas, there was fire at an outdoor home
party event. Not sure, and didn't follow up on the story. Either the
tank caught fire or exploded. Very first indications was fire. An
explosion would suggest serious injuries at the party.
