Grill Safety

Grilling season is upon us! 🍔🍗 Whether you use a propane grill or you use a charcoal grill, it is important that you know how to keep you and your family safe while barbecuing. Always keep an extinguisher close by, read your owner's manual, and follow these tips!

• Keep your grill positioned outside a safe distance from your home, deck railing, garage, tree branches, etc.
• Check for gas leaks.
• Do not allow children and pets near your grill.
• Be careful of loose clothing or accessories.
• Keep the top of your grills and bottom trays clean.
• Never leave the grill unattended. 
• Check the connection. Examine the propane tank and the regulator and cylinder. If the connection feels loose, tighten it. 
• Before using, inspect for rust. 
• Use the proper starter fluid. 
• When you have finished using your charcoal grill, let the coals cool completely and then dispose of them in a metal container. 
• *If something doesn't look, feel, or smell right, it is always best to turn your grill off immediately and have it serviced by a professional. If you smell gas, get away from the grill and call the fire department.
