Natural Gas BBQ Safety Tips

 

Instead of using your oven, why not use the BBQ? With natural gas BBQ, you don’t cause more heat in your house; rather you help keep the house cool on a warm summer day. After all, summer is the season of grilling your favourite foods and sharing beautiful moments with family and friends.

Summer fun is all about barbecue and a good laugh with those you love. But just be careful when using your barbecue with natural gas, so you’re sure to have a safe and fun summer experience!

Before Grilling

  • Clean your grill and inspect each burner for obstructions and rusts.
  • Check gas lines and connections for leaks and replace damaged ones.
  • Make sure your control valve is connected securely.
  • Review the barbecue manual for proper use and maintenance.

While Grilling

  • Always keep the gas barbecue lid open until it’s lit.
  • Never leave your grill unattended when it’s still lit.
  • Place the grill outside in a well-ventilated area, as carbon monoxide can result in serious injuries, and worse, death.
  • Use ceramic bricks instead of lava rocks.

After Grilling

  • Turn off all burner controls.
  • Ensure the gas valve is shut off all the way.
  • Let the gas left in the connecting hose burn off.
  • Cover the grill once it’s cooled down.

After use, be sure to turn off the gas. Wasting gas is expensive, and gas leaks can pose a health risk or potentially cause a fire.
