- Be sure the barbecue grill is located in a safe place away from tables and other places where people gather. Keep items that will burn a safe distance away in all directions.
- Provide proper clearance around barbecues. Be sure to check above the barbecue for patio covers, awnings, hanging plants and other combustibles that could ignite.
- Use only approved barbecue fluids, following the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations.
- NEVER USE GASOLINE. Once the barbecue has been ignited, never add more fuel to the fire.
- Never use a gas or charcoal grill inside a house or tent. The fumes create carbon monoxide which become highly toxic in an enclosed area.
- Never leave a heated barbecue unattended. Children should always play far away from a heated barbecue grill.
- Allow charcoal briquettes 48 hours to cool before disposing.
- Propane and natural gas barbecues are very popular. Like any gas-fired appliance, they can be dangerous if not used property.
- Never store briquettes outside where they can get wet. When they dry, they become a flammable solid creating a fire hazard.
