These are just the small ones that are about the size of a quart of soda or something. I had some leftover from a recent camping trip and probably won’t need them until the next time I camp, probably in the Spring.
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…

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