"Drill" a hole in the line? Nope. I can't see a safety concern with a properly installed capped tee in the propane line but would it really help and maybe there's an easier method.

If you don't know how to work with propane stuff, get a professional to do it. You couldn't have a leg hanging down somewhere that could get hit tho.

What Chris suggests is the correct way. After opening and draining the lines install the drip leg. It will catch any water or oil in the future. Home natural gas lines normally or should have a drip leg installed. Should work the same for propane.
