Is it safe to store a propane tank (even a small one) inside your house?
I live in an apartment and don't have access to a garage or other
outside storage. I've always wanted a torch to make creme brulee but
was afraid to store the propane inside - most people say to store it in
your garage or in an outside storage area but that's usually referring
to the big tanks. Although I'm not sure where I'd store even a small
one in my closet-sized kitchen.
