Practice Safety When Barbecuing

Backyard barbecues are great for creating tasty food. But grills can be dangerous. Consider these safety tips to keep your barbecuing safe and fun.

Keep barbecue grills on a level surface away from the house, garage, landscaping and children.

Wear a heavy apron and use a long-armed oven mitt to protect yourself.

Let the coals cool completely before disposing of them in a metal container.

Remember that grills remain hot long after you are through barbecuing.

Never use gasoline or kerosene as a fire starter in your grill.
