 chance that you could be creating an unsafe situation. So we would always recommend that you take it out of that direct sunlight, or if the grill is in that direct sunlight, the metal around it's going to heat up also. But definitely make sure that you're not leaving it in the car. Same rule of thumb with animals. You don't want to leave an animal in the car because the temperature inside the car is so much warmer than the outside air. Same thing with that propane bottle. That intensity of the heat within that confined place is going to create a risk.
