Relevant Background: "Barbecue or barbeque (informally, BBQ; in Australia barbie, in South Africa braai) is a cooking method, a cooking device, a style of food, and a name for a meal or gathering at which this style of food is cooked and served...A barbecue can refer to the cooking method itself, the meat cooked this way, or to a type of social event featuring this type of cooking. Barbecuing is usually done outdoors by smoking meat over wood or charcoal. Restaurant barbecue may be cooked in large, specially-designed brick or metal ovens. Barbecue is practiced in many countries and there are numerous regional variations....Barbecuing techniques include smoking, roasting, and grilling. The technique for which it is named involves cooking using smoke at low temperatures and long cooking times (several hours). Grilling is done over direct, dry heat, usually over a hot fire for a few minutes...Smoking is the process of flavoring, cooking, and/or preserving food by exposing it to smoke from burning or smoldering material, most often wood. Meat and fish are the most common smoked foods, though cheeses, vegetables, nuts, and ingredients used to make beverages.. Grilling is a form of cooking that involves a dry heat applied to the food, either from above or below. Grilling is an effective technique in order to cook meat or vegetables quickly since it involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat. There are many methods of grilling, which involve a type of braising or roasting. This is one of the least common techniques when cooking classic barbecue foodsThe words "barbecue" and "grilling" are often used interchangeably, although food experts argue that barbecue is a type of grilling, and that grilling involves the use of a higher level of heat to sear the food, while barbecuing is a slower process over a low heat.[35] " ("Barbeque", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue)

Relevant Statistics on Propane tank related accidents: "With around 60 million propane grills in the US, there will be incidents, as with any product in use with those numbers. An NFPA grill fire study from 2009 to 2013 showed an average of 7,415 gas grill fires per year. Interestingly, the leading causes listed in the study were failure to clean the grill, having the grill too cluse to combustible material and leaving the grill unattended while in use. A leak or break in the gas line accounted for 14% of the causes, or around 1,040 gas grill fires. Looking at the numbers above, propane as a fuel source for grills has a pretty good track record, with a .000017 incident rate. And when you look at the frequency of gas grill use, the incident rate goes down even further..." ("United States Propane Safety Statistics", https://www.propane101.com/propanestatistics.htm)
