It’s summertime in our part of the hemisphere, which means it’s Barbecue Season!
To get you started, I’m re-posting this list of Grilling Safety Tips because it’s really important to repeat – and – because we value each and every one of our readers.

Grilling Safety Tips:

2. If using a charcoal grill, only use a starter fluid made for that type of grill.

4. If using a gas grill, check the connection between the propane tank and the fuel line to be sure there is no leak. DO NOT use a match to check for leaks!!!

6. Don’t ever bring a barbecue grill into your home or garage. You’ll be at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning and fire.

8. Have a bucket of water handy – just in case!

If the fire is outside, throw dirt on it. If the fire is inside your kitchen, try to smother the
flames with a pot lid, or use salt, baking soda, or a fire extinguisher.
