Grilling Safety Tips

• Always grill outdoors
• Grills cannot be used on the balcony with an overhang.
• The grill should be at least 10 feet away from the house or building.
• Keep children and pets three feet away from the grill while in use.

Gas Grill Safety

• Make sure the lid is open when it is ignited as the propane can build up inside and when ignited, and the lid may blow off.
• If you smell gas, turn the grill off immediately and do not move the grill.
• Always make sure you turn the burners off and close the propane cylinder when you’re done using it.
• Don’t ever leave a burning grill unattended.

Charcoal Grill Safety

• Only use charcoal starter fluid. Never use gas or kerosene to start a fire.
• Charcoal can give off carbon monoxide which can be deadly so always use your grill outdoors.
• Always allow the coals to cool for 48 hours before proper disposal. If you can’t wait until they cool then soak them in water before putting them in a metal container.
