For gas grills, reduce the temperature. Dispose of ashes properly. A covered metal pail works best just in case there are still live coals. Never pour the hot coals into a bucket of water, or vice versa, as steam from the briquets may burn you. Open aluminum foil food packets carefully and facing away from you to let out the steam.
Steam burns can be painful.
