It's time to fire up your grill, but make sure you do it safely. 🌭🍔

Only use your grill outdoors, and do not light a gas grill with the cover closed.

Create a 3ft safety zone around your grill, and keep it away from siding, decks, and eaves.

Clean your grill after each use to prevent buildup of grease.

If using a charcoal grill, after cooking your food place the coals and ash in a metal can with a lid once they have cooled.
