Cookout Precautions

Posted by the knowledge brokers

Summer is here and we're spending more time outside grilling brats and burgers! There are a few things to consider before firing up the grill:

  • Check the grill  hoses and burners for cracks or leaks before using
  • Use the grill on an outdoor level surface
  • Read your owner's manual
  • Never leave a grill unattended
  • Never grill on a balcony
  • Never grill within 20 feet of a building
  • Don't move the grill after it's hot
  • Have a fire extinguisher or garden hose nearby
  • Keep children and pets away from flames
  • Never use gas on charcoal grills
  • Do not apply lighter fluid once the grill is already ignited
  • Place ashes or coals in a metal container for disposal
