Firing up the grill for a barbecue yields delicious results.
However, cooking with fire also comes with an element of danger. In fact,
around 7,000 Americans injure themselves while using grills each year. Follow
these safety tips for outdoor gas
grills in Denver to avoid injury and enjoy grilling to the fullest.
Use
Your Grill 10+ Feet Away from Your House: The farther
away from your house that you grill, the safer you’ll be from property damage.
Clean
Regularly: Grease build-up provides fuel for fire, so clean often to avoid
flare-ups.
Keep
a Spray Bottle of Water and a Fire Extinguisher Nearby: You
can spray a little water to deal with small flare-ups, and you’ll be ready with
the extinguisher should you need it.
Never
Turn on the Gas While the Lid Is Closed: If you do
this, the gas builds up inside your grill; when you light it and open the lid,
a fireball may explode in your face.
Avoid
Overloading the Grill with Fatty Meats: Outdoor gas
grills are prone to flare-ups if a lot of fat drips down into the grill.
Always
Keep an Eye on Your Grill: Fires can easily double in size
every minute, so you must never leave the grill unattended.
