SAFE GRILLING TIPS Don't forget the most important ingredient to any grill-out: safety. Review the tips below for some safety advice.
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.
FOLLOW THE PROPER LIGHTING PROCEDURES. Follow the manufacturer's lighting instructions, and with all grill models, keep the lid open and do not lean over the grill when lighting it.
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.
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.
CHECK FOR LEAKS. Use a soapy water solution to check connections for leaks. Expanding bubbles indicate a leak. If there is a leak, make sure you have your tank serviced by a professional. Follow this procedure every time you replace a cylinder.
BE PRESENT. Stay close and never leave your grill unattended.
