Memorial Day is a time to honor those who have served our country to protect our freedoms. It also signals the kick-off of the summer season! Today and for the next 3 months grilling will be center stage in homes across America! I wanted to remind everyone of general “grilling safety tips from our good friends at AmeriGas. View them below to ensure that your “fun barbecue remains a safe barbecue.” Also, if you’re looking for some great recipes check out a great blog entitled the, Propane Grill Girl!
Placement of Your Grill & Propane Cylinders
- Use your grill outdoors only
- Use your grill in a well-ventilated area
- Never grill or store a cylinder in any enclosed areas (including trailers, tents, houses and garages)
- Ensure that the grill is firmly in place and that it is stable and cannot be tipped over
Use of Your Grill
- Read and follow the grill manual
- Once lit, never leave a grill unattended
- Use grilling utensils with long handles to help avoid burns and splatters
- Avoid clothing with hanging shirt tails, apron strings, etc
- Do not allow children near the grill or cylinder
- Never attempt to move a hot grill
- Stay away from a hot grill, as the body remains hot for up to an hour after use
Other Propane Cylinders Safety Tips
- When transporting, keep cylinder secured in an upright position with cylinder valve turned off
- When in use, store and use cylinder in upright, vertical position
