    ATG suggests, if you want a hybrid system, get what I got around the home to cook & eat the home.
    My uncle mod & ran the spiral metal duct pipe out of the home (chimney filled with hot heat). If we need more heat we open the front door. And while you are cooking it will fill the home with chef's homemade cuisine smell.
    Sometime it get so hot inside the home that we open doors & windows.
    Real smoked cuisine that neighbors, friends & drive by willing to buy.
    ATG/Masterbuilt MES130S: comes solid or window. We preferred the window.

    Guys the reason you can’t store propane tanks inside is because houses are warmer than it is outside and when propane tanks are filled outside all the way up and then go inside where it’s warm the gas expands from the heat difference and will start shooting out the bleeder inside your home.

      @@skblack5050 you are right! To all who posted (albeit some years ago) venting yourself is much simpler than misdirecting the fire department away from real emergencies. (They do more than fight fires btw.)

    Can you store a tank outside in heat? In Texas it can reach over 100 degrees.

    • @GreenTrilby
      @GreenTrilby 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Make sure to keep your tanks nice and shiny! A clean tank reflects more heat and stops gas from leaking out.

    • @VegetoStevieD
      @VegetoStevieD ปีที่แล้ว

      Store it in the shade, AWAY from direct sunlight.
      When correctly filled, a tank will be at 80% capacity. On a hot day, the propane will expand, and should NOT be exposed to temperatures of more than 120 degrees F.

    • @marks146
      @marks146 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They fill your tank outside. Propane is sensitive to temperatures. If they fill it to capacity when it's cold outside, then you bring it indoors to a warm room the overfill valve can release propane as it expands when it warms. This release of propane can then ignite in a rather lively manor. Perhaps BOOM.....
