Query by Schleppy: Is it secure to hold smaller canisters of propane (the type you use for camping devices) in my basement?
These are just the compact ones that are about the size of a quart of soda or a thing. I had some leftover from a latest camping trip and likely won’t need them right up until the subsequent time I camp, possibly in the Spring.

They should be okay if they remain dry, no rust, and are kept away from heat.

Really, they aren’t supposed to be stored indoors…They should be stored upright in an unheated ventilated area away from other chemicals and fuels.
That being said…I’ve worked in the propane industry for 20 years and I’ve got two of them in my basement! As long as you don’t have 20 of them and you don’t put them beside the furnace or gas water heater you should be fine. Just make sure you keep them dry and upright…
