Propane Grilling Safety Tips

Before lighting up the grill this summer, it’s important that you take a few precautionary measures to ensure that you don’t start a fire or injure yourself. To begin with, open the lid of the grill before turning on the propane in order to make sure that gas is not contained once the grill begins to heat up. Once you’ve started the ignition and the burners are warm, assign one or two people to be the masters of the grill. Instruct each of them to monitor the space as they cook, making sure to keep any curious kids or pets at a distance. Keep an eye on the propane grill equipment rental as your party cooks to make sure that the cylinder is not at risk of tipping.

Once the last sausage links and burger patties have been grilled, let the grill cool down slowly before closing the cylinder service valve and switching the knobs to the off position. Continue to be mindful of kids approaching the grill at this time as it will still be hot enough to cause a burn.
