According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), approximately 64% of U.S. households own at least one outdoor grill or smoker, with gas grills being the most popular choice at 61%. Nonetheless, while grilling is a fun and convenient way to cook, it also comes with risks. On average, more than 10,000 home fires are caused by grills each year, with gas grills being a leading contributor. Thankfully, by following proper safety precautions, you can reduce these risks and focus on what really matters: enjoying great food and great company.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; top_margin=&#8221;50&#8243; bottom_margin=&#8221;50&#8243; top_margin_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; bottom_margin_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; top_margin_phone=&#8221;50&#8243; bottom_margin_phone=&#8221;50&#8243; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; centered_text=&#8221;true&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1743534888345{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Safety Tips<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;11352&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; animation_easing=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; margin_top=&#8221;50&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243; margin_top_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; margin_bottom_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; margin_top_phone=&#8221;50&#8243; margin_bottom_phone=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1743534902717{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<ol style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Always use your propane or charcoal barbecue grill outside, and place it on a flat, stable surface away from structures, overhanging branches, or flammable materials.

To do that, apply a soapy water solution to the connections; if bubbles form, there&#8217;s a leak. Also, if you smell gas, turn off the grill immediately and check the connections.<\/li>\n<li>Always open the lid before turning on the gas to prevent a dangerous buildup of propane.<\/li>\n<li>Keep propane tanks upright, and store them in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources.<\/li>\n<li>After use, turn off the propane tank first, then the grill controls. This ensures that no gas is left in the line.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swa.org\/DocumentCenter\/View\/430\/Propane-Gas-Grill-Safety-Tips-PDF\">Propane Gas Grill Safety Tips<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.gov\/dca\/codes\/alerts\/pdfs\/p_gas_g_dos_donts.pdf\">Propane Gas Grill and Range Safety Tips<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scottsdaleaz.gov\/fire\/safety-awareness\/barbecue-and-propane-safety\">Barbecue and Propane Safety<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/grillio.com\/bbq-grills-smokers\/gas-grills\">Outdoor Gas Grills<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityofgilroy.org\/DocumentCenter\/View\/5966\/Guidance-on-Gas-Leak-Testing-and-Maintaing-Propane-Cylinders\">Guidance on Leak Testing and Maintaining Propane Cylinders<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; top_margin=&#8221;50&#8243; bottom_margin=&#8221;50&#8243; top_margin_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; bottom_margin_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; top_margin_phone=&#8221;50&#8243; bottom_margin_phone=&#8221;50&#8243; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; centered_text=&#8221;true&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1743534972466{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Children&#8217;s Safety Gear for Grilling<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;11344&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; animation_easing=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; margin_top=&#8221;50&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243; margin_top_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; margin_bottom_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; margin_top_phone=&#8221;50&#8243; margin_bottom_phone=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1743534985156{padding-top: 50px !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<ol style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Dress children in snug-fitting clothing made from non-flammable materials, such as cotton or other natural fibers, if they&#8217;re going to be around the grill.

Use warm, soapy water and a brush to remove residue, and dry them thoroughly before storage.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid using grilling tools for tasks they aren&#8217;t designed for. For example, don&#8217;t use a spatula to move charcoal or a fork to flip delicate foods. This can lead to accidents or damage the tools.<\/li>\n<li>When not in use, store grilling tools in a designated area away from the grill to prevent them from accidentally touching hot surfaces.<\/li>\n<li>Use separate tools for raw and cooked foods to prevent the spread of bacteria.
