Safety Tips for Outdoor Cooking

Apron
Use your grill only in well-ventilated areas—never inside a garage or on a covered patio. Your grill should also be placed away from any lowhanging tree branches.
Grill
Make sure the grill is clean, in order to prevent flare-ups. Also, check hoses for kinks or any deterioration.
Oven Mitts
Keep the cover open until you are sure the grill is lit—even if you have an electronic ignition.
Propane
When you’re finished, make sure to turn off the burner control and close the cylinder valve.
Propane
Propane cylinders should always be kept in an upright (vertical) position when stored or transported.
Oven Mitts
When refilling or replacing your tank, transport it in a well-ventilated or air-conditioned area of your vehicle—not the trunk—and bring it home immediately.
Grill
Always store propane cylinders outdoors—not in a garage or shed.
