For most of my life I've been city dweller, but that has changed recently. Now I'm a domesticated home owner out in the "country", and of course with that comes something I've never had before... a gas-grill. I treat it very carefully since, to be honest, I find it more than a bit intimidating. I've followed all the safety instructions on it, well... almost. It recommends that you put it on concrete, but it also recommends that you store 20' away from your house. Well, since I don't have concrete 20' away, it has to sit four feet away from my back door.
So, during last night's lightning and wind show in northern Alabama, I had a thought that worried me. What would happen if lightning hit the tank?
Anyway, I wanted to see if this was a known problem or if anyone has heard of something like that happening? Am I just being paranoid or is it a legitimate worry? Thanks for any info guys!
