Tomorrow is the day we celebrate the sacrifices made by so many past and present Americans for the cause of freedom. In celebration and remembrance, we often get together with friends and family. Naturally, the warm weather this time of the year is primetime for grilling. We’ve mentioned some of these tips before, but it is never a bad idea to have a reminder.
By following these simple tips, you will help make this Memorial Day memorable for the right reasons.
- Only use propane or charcoal grills outdoors. Using them indoors can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Keep children away from any flammable liquids.
- Keep the grill away from overhangs and deck railings. Also keep it away from heavy foot traffic.
- Keep children and pets away from the grill.
- Clean the grill before and after use. You don’t want any excess fat or grease to ignite while you are grilling.
- Use long-handled tools. This will keep your body a safe distance from the flame.
- Never leave the grill unattended.
Let’s enjoy this weekend in a way that will keep everyone safe!
