Grilling and Fire Safety

Fire is one of the fastest, most destructive elements on this planet – keep that in mind when you’re using your gas grill this summer to cook up some delicious masterpiece! Here are a few helpful tips for you to consider:

• Always keep your grill away from your home.
• Never leave your grill unattended after the fire is lit.
• Keep a close eye on the color of the brass valve on the tank itself.
• Keep your fire extinguisher (working!), sand, or your garden hose close for any incidents that should occur
• Don’t use a tank that’s been dented or damaged, or rusty for that matter.
• Never store your propane tank in an enclosed area.

Not only should you be aware of the fire damage hazards, but you should be mindful that food safety is very important, as well. Cooking over an open flame is different than in a controlled, electric environment. Please, if you have any questions about your grill and how you should properly use it, call the manufacturer!
