Propane Grilling Safety
Propane grills are the best way to spend time with your family, enjoy your outdoor living space, and cook up some mouth-watering meals. It’s important to follow a few simple safety tips, too, every time you pull out the propane grill this summer.
- 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.
- 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.
- Check for leaks: Use a soapy water solution to check connections for leaks. Expanding bubbles indicate a leak. Follow this procedure every time you replace a cylinder.
- Follow proper lighting procedures: Follow the manufacturer’s lighting instructions, and with all grill models, keep the lid open and don’t lean over the grill when lighting it.
- Follow proper re-lighting 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.
- Be present: Stay close and never leave your grill unattended.
