While grills are designed for outdoor use, some places should be avoided when looking for the perfect spot. One location where grills should never be placed is near combustible materials such as wood piles, dry leaves, branches, or other flammable objects.
Gas grill tanks should also never be stored inside a home or garage due to their potential risk of explosion and carbon monoxide poisoning. Additionally, barbeques should not be placed directly on grassy surfaces due to the potential risk of starting a fire. It is especially true during dry spells with low humidity levels and high temperatures.
