Warm weather brings people outdoors for all kinds of activities. One of the most popular is outdoor grilling. Whether it be the all – American hotdogs and hamburgers, chicken, steak, fish and vegetables, everything tastes better on a grill, but grilling can be dangerous if precautions aren\u2019t taken.<\/p>\n
Following these rules will make grilling safe:<\/p>\n
\n\u2022\u00a0Keep the grill at least ten feet away from your house, garage, porch, and automobile
\n\u2022\u00a0Always keep the grill clean
\n\u2022\u00a0Remove any grease and fat build up
\n\u2022\u00a0Keep a hose fire extinguisher, or a bucket of water nearby
\n\u2022\u00a0Check for leaks if you are using a gas grill
\n\u2022\u00a0Make sure the area is well ventilated
\n\u2022\u00a0Keep away from decorations and other flammable objects
\n\u2022\u00a0Keep small children away from the grill
\n\u2022\u00a0Never leave the grill unattended
\n\u2022\u00a0Keep the lid open when starting the fire to avoid build-up of gas
\n\u2022\u00a0Do not grill indoors with an outdoor grill

Don\u2019t let your summer grilling be memorable for the wrong reasons. Every year people end up with serious injuries because they weren\u2019t careful. Remember that a grill uses a flame to cook and regardless of it being charcoal or gas that is fueling it, it can get out of control quickly. Take your time and do it the right way and you will have a wonderful meal every time.<\/p>\n
