Barbequing or grilling out of doors this summer covers the particular list of exciting ways for people to take in supper together, based on a survey coming from the Propane Education & Research Council. And even nearly two-thirds of US citizens claim that a barbeque or cookout is actually their preferred way to entertain-or become entertained-during summer time months.

But only one in three adults say they know enough about basic safe grilling tips. To help the 74 million “barbecue households” in the United States enjoy a safe and healthy summer season, the propane industry teamed up with best-selling author and grilling expert Steven Raichlen to release its top-ten tips on grilling safely with propane gas:

When the cylinder is refilled, have the supplier check for dents, damage, rust or leaks.

After filling or exchanging, take the cylinder home immediately. Keep the vehicle ventilated and the cylinder valve closed and capped.

Always use or store cylinders outdoors in an upright (vertical) position. Do not use, store or transport cylinders near high temperatures (this includes storing spare cylinders near the grill).

Never leave the grill unattended. Always follow grill manufacturer’s instructions on lighting the grill and make sure the grill top is open when attempting to light the grill.

Before connecting or lighting a propane gas grill, use a leak-detection solution to check connections for tightness. Do not use matches or lighters to check for leaks.

If you suspect a gas leak, and are able to safely turn off the gas supply valve, do so immediately and call the fire department.

Do not allow children to tamper or play with the cylinder or grill.

Do not smoke while handling a propane cylinder.

Never pour an accelerant such as lighter fluid or gasoline on the grill.

When not being used, barbeque grill burner control buttons must be switched off and cylinder valve shut.
