If you are going to barbecue in the backyard of your Lebanon, GA home, there are some important safety tips that you want to follow. Without being safe, you could easily start a fire and your home could experience smoke or fire damage.
Whenever you are going to grill, be sure to moving out away from your home. It should be at least 20 feet away from the structure, and out from under any kind of hood, roof, or ceiling. You may also have to adhere to specific regulations within your community.
Clean the grill thoroughly before you use it. Using a wire grill brush can help to get access food and grease off so that you don’t experience smoke or any kind of flare-ups.
If you do experience a flare-up, the easiest way to address it is with a spray bottle filled with water. If the flare-up is more than you can handle, an extinguisher should be close by as well. It is also important for you to know how to use the extinguisher so that you don’t waste valuable time trying to figure it out.
It’s always important to stay alert when you are using a grill. It doesn’t matter whether it is charcoal or gas, there are open flames. This means you should never leave the grill unattended and always watch to see where young children are.
When you are done with the grill, allow everything to cool down before you put a cover on or before you attempt to clean out briquettes. If you are using gas, be sure to close the gas valve before putting the grill away.
