Wash all utensils, containers, cutting boards, and work surfaces with hot soapy water after they come in contact with uncooked foods. Avoid grease fires by trimming excess fat from meat. You never know when you might need it to douse flames. Never add either to flames or hot coals. This can cause a dangerous flash of flame.
Patience is a virtue.
When igniting a gas grill, raise the cover first and then press the ignition. If it doesn't ignite within 10 seconds, turn off the gas and wait 5 minutes before trying again. Move the kerosene and gasoline. To guarantee that the tank on your gas grill has been filled correctly, check out one of the cylinder-exchange programs at supermarkets, mass merchandisers, home centers, convenience stores, and gas stations. Each time you change your gas grill's tank and reattach the cylinder, check for leaks by brushing soapy water over the connections.
