Keep children and games such as tag, ball toss, and Frisbee away from this area. Grill on concrete whenever possible, at least 10 feet away from any building. Grills should never be used on wooden patios or under overhangs of garages, homes or decks. Close the vents of the grill after you use it and make sure the fuel source has been shut off if it is a gas-powered or electric grill. Avoid loose fitting sleeves or clothing when cooking.
Wind can easily blow loose clothing into grill cooking surface.
Remember to always use potholders. Keep lighter fluid, matches, paper plates, garbage, tents, sleeping bags or combustibles away from the grill. Never use gasoline to start or stoke a fire. Keep charcoal briquettes stored in a metal container with a secured lid. Match light briquettes can self ignite under the right conditions.
