I am planning on buying one. I would use it in the backyard and let it cool completely before bringing it inside. Under normal circumstances I would store it in my backyard but I have no way of locking my gate. I fear someone stealing my grill yet I don't know how safe it is to store propane in the house. Another idea would be to get a cover for it and chain it to the backyard fence but I don't know if that would suffice. Thanks!
