Fire up the GRILL---Not the deck!

• Don’t barbecue next to, or under, structures or other combustible surfaces. 
• Don’t leave your barbecue unattended, especially when children are present.
• Keep a bucket of water, water hose, or fire extinguisher nearby to extinguish a fire if needed. 
• Use charcoal lighter fluid sparingly and with extreme caution. Never squirt “just a little more” once the fire is lit (even if it’s just smoking) - fire can shoot back up the fluid stream and explode. 
• Used briquettes/ashes can stay hot for several days - dispose of them in a metal container and store the container away from combustibles such as decks, furniture, or structures. 
• When you change propane tanks/bottles, check the fittings to ensure proper seal and fit before using.
• HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE!
