Safe Grilling Tips

Based on consumer demand, propane is still the #1 choice for grills.

Propane grills are equipped with convenient on/off switches, providing for instant heat, greater temperature control, and quicker cool-down times. And with no burning embers, propane grills don't throw sparks or require a messy clean-up.

But before the barbecue begins, the Propane Education & Research Council offers the following grilling and food safety tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Correct Grilling Tips

  • When lighting a grill, keep the top open.
  • Before connecting the cylinder to a propane gas grill burner for the first time, use a leak-detection solution (a 50/50 mixture of water and liquid soap) to check connections for tightness.
  • Do not use matches or lighters to check for leaks.
  • Do not allow children to tamper with the cylinder or grill.
  • Do not smoke while handling a propane cylinder.
  • When a grill is not in use, cover disconnected hose-end fittings with plastic bags or protective caps to keep clean.
  • Always follow grill manufacturer's instructions and keep written materials accessible.
  • Never pour an accelerant such as lighter fluid or gasoline on the grill.
  • When finished grilling, turn off the burner controls and close the cylinder valve.
