Propane Grilling Safety Tips for Your Next Barbecue
FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS
Whether it’s assembly, use, maintenance, cleaning, or storage, make your grill manufacturer’s instructions your go-to resource for safe grilling.
POSITION THE GRILL IN A SAFE LOCATION
Keep your grill outdoors and at least five feet from the house on a level surface that is clear of outdoor furniture, overhead trees, or other potential fire hazards.
CHECK FOR LEAKS
Use a soapy water solution to check connections for leaks. Expanding bubbles indicate a leak. Follow this procedure every time you replace a cylinder.
FOLLOW PROPER LIGHTING PROCEDURES
Follow the manufacturer’s lighting instructions, and with all grill models, keep the lid open and don’t lean over the grill when lighting it.
FOLLOW PROPER RELIGHTING PROCEDURES
If your flame goes out, turn off the gas and refer to your owner’s manual. At a minimum, with all grill models, keep the lid open and wait at least 15 minutes before relighting.
BE PRESENT
Stay close and never leave your grill unattended.
