You should never install or operate your grill in any building, garage, or other enclosed area. The maximum height allowable for a replacement cylinder is approximately twelve inches (30.5 centimeters).
PROPANE GAS GRILLS Propane Cylinder Safety Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use when the safety precautions provided in this manual are followed.

Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that has been damaged.
PROPANE GAS GRILLS Pressure Regulator and Hose Assembly The pressure regulator has an outlet pressure of not more than eleven inches water column. It must be connected to the Propane gas cylinder’s female valve outlet before the grill can be operated. Caution: Operation of a Propane gas grill without the pressure regulator and hose assembly will cause gas leaks which could lead to fire or explosion, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
