Summer Grilling Safety

Summer barbeque season is here. Family and friends make it a tradition to gather all summer long and enjoy great food prepared on an outdoor grill. Here are 10 tips to make these events safe.

1. Clean your grease pan or dripping pan frequently
2. Keep a spray bottle or squirt bottle filled with water handy while you're cooking.
3. Change your lava rocks periodically, or consider replacing them with porcelain rocks.
4. Check your hoses and connections for gas leaks.
5. If your grill bottom has vent holes, be certain that it also has an ash can to catch hot embers.
6. Use a cylindrical water smoker or "bullet smoker" only on a concrete or nonflammable surface.
7. Wet down burning embers before disposing of them.
8. Keep your barbecuing set-up in an open area away from the structure of your home.
9. If you do use a chemical starter, use it safely and according to the instructions that come with the product.
10. Never -- under any circumstances -- start a grill fire using gasoline.
