Here are Some Tips to Keep you Safe While Grilling

1. Read and follow all the grill manufacturer’s instructions before turning on and lighting the grill. Keep the top open when lighting a propane grill, and don’t close it until you are sure grill is lit.
2. Season the meat before cooking and use a light hand. Whether you’re adding salt, pepper, or a custom rub, keep your hand about a foot above the meat to help distribute the spices evenly.

Tips If You Have a Large Tank

What Is Propane?

Propane (also called LPG—liquefied petroleum gas—or LP gas) is a widely used fuel. It is transported and stored as a very cold liquid, and can cause a “freeze burn” or frostbite if it contacts the skin. The liquid propane is turned into a gas inside a tank or a cylinder. In its natural form, propane is colorless and odorless. To make propane easier to detect in the event of a leak or spill, manufacturers deliberately add a chemical compound to give it a distinctive smell.

4. Before you restart the appliance, have a qualified service technician inspect your cylinder and appliance.
