🔥 Grilling Safety Checklist
Before you fire up the grill, make sure your setup is ready for a safer cookout. A few simple precautions can help keep the focus on good food and good company.
✅ Give it space — keep your grill at least 10 feet from your home, railings, and anything overhead
✅ Check the connections — inspect propane hoses and connections for signs of leaks before lighting
✅ Clean before you cook — remove grease and buildup from the grill and grease tray, buildup is the #1 cause of grill fires
✅ Keep it steady — place your grill on a flat, stable surface away from high-traffic areas
✅ Let it cool — allow the grill to cool completely and make sure coals are fully extinguished before cleanup or storage
✅ Stay aware — keep an eye on the grill, children, pets, and anything nearby while cooking
🔥 Grill smart. Stay safe. Enjoy the cookout.
