    Modern propane tanks are too well designed to be unsafe.

    Worse that will happen will be a little fireball and a flamethrower, but no explosions.

      I work in propane and some body actually did this ~3 weeks ago with one of our cages

      It’ll not explode, but it’ll burn the cage down along with anything the cage is near should a spark catch, they’ll go up in flames FAST

          I’ve said it elsewhere on Lemmy:

          I work in propane. I once was proud that I sold the most ez-go (stupid and basically useless accessory) in one month. my name starts with Ha-

          I live in CA and prefer charcoal but otherwise I have become the professional persona of Hank Hill. My boss and I tried to get them to put “Hill” on one of my work shirts when I was still in the yard as a joke but Cintas said no

      These storage units are usually at gas stations though, which are kinda dumb to be smoking anywhere near IMO. But I still see people doing it now and then. Usually gas station employees.
