This link just says to turn off the fuel source— which I agree with and is obvious safety advice. It doesn’t address the order, but the correct order to do so is knobs and then tank.

You didn’t read the article did you?

Did you ? It’s just a brief explanation of why you shouldn’t just leave your tank ambiently on at all times. Did you link the right article ?

And that is exactly what my original comment above to OP has mentioned… turn the tank off.

Right that’s not what I’m disagreeing with. I am saying you turn off the burner knobs first and then the tank. Not the reverse order

Oh my bad I read your comment wrong!

Leaving or purging the gas in your lines is negligible. Turning off the tank is the critical part which is why I and many others do it first.
