JACKSON, Mich. – Labor Day is one of the biggest days
of the year for grilling, which also makes it one of the most dangerous. Before
you layer the racks with steaks, patties, and brats, it’s vital that you follow
these grilling safety tips for
Labor Day:
1) Clean Your Grill
Clean your grill regularly, especially before using it, by removing grease or fat buildup from the grill racks. Many also forget the
importance of cleaning the tray below your grill.
2) Stay in Close Proximity to Your Grill
Don’t leave your grill unattended! We know, it’s tempting to
run inside for just a few minutes to get something else situated for your
Labor Day grill out, but it’s extremely dangerous to walk away from your
grill. Don’t do it!
3) Grill at a Safe
Distance
Sure, you might think your deck and home are safe from a few
little flames, but those can easily grow into massive flares with a few drips
of grease. If you’re grilling too close to the house or on a wood surface like
your deck, you could be spending Labor Day with the fire department.
4) If Using Charcoal
Charcoal grills are classic Americana, but those little
coals used to heat meat can be hazardous. Before you dump your coals into a
metal container after a night of grilling, make sure they’re completely cool.
5) If Using Propane
Propane is more efficient than charcoal, but don’t think
this technology is entirely safer –– propane grills come with their own risks.
Check the propane tank hose that goes to the grill for any leaks –– your goal is
to grill, not cause an explosion.
6) Do You Smell Gas?
Remember not to let the mouthwatering aromas of meat put you
in a daze. Every now and then, check for the smell of gas. If you smell gas,
shut off the grill, step away and call the fire department!
7) If the Flame Goes Out
This may seem trivial, but it can be a sign of danger if
your grill’s flame suddenly extinguishes. If this happens, shut off the grill
and gas, and wait 15 minutes before you light it again.
