Whether you\u2019re flipping burgers in the backyard or hosting a weekend barbecue, safety should always be part of the recipe.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are 6 essential summer safety tips to help you cook up delicious meals while keeping your home and loved ones safe.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Know Your Grill&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you fire up the grill, it\u2019s important to understand the type of equipment you\u2019re using. Each grill has its own set of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/info-details\/grilling-safety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">safety considerations.<\/a> Make sure you\u2019re familiar with it beforehand!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gas Grills: <\/strong>Check for gas leaks before each use. Apply a soap-and-water solution to the hose. If you see bubbles, you have a leak.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Charcoal Grills:<\/strong> Use only charcoal starter fluid designed for grilling. Never add fluid to an open flame once the fire is lit.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Electric Grills:<\/strong> Keep cords dry and away from water. Use only GFCI-protected outlets to reduce the risk of electric shock.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Choose the Right Location&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where you place your grill can make a big difference in preventing accidents. Always set up in a clear, open and well-ventilated area.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place grills <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfpa.org\/education-and-research\/home-fire-safety\/grilling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">at least 10 feet away<\/a> from buildings, fences and overhangs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Never grill in enclosed areas like garages, balconies or under awnings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Always keep your grill on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Stay Attentive&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grilling isn\u2019t a \u201cset it and forget it\u201d activity. Your full attention is the best safety tool you have! Staying alert can help prevent accidents and ensure your food is <a href=\"https:\/\/rentprogress.com\/blog\/top-10-grilling-tips-and-techniques\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cooked safely<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Never leave a hot or lit grill unattended.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep children and pets at least 3 feet away from the cooking area.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use long-handled tools to protect your hands and arms from heat and splatter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Keep it Clean&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A clean grill not only cooks better but also reduces the risk of flare-ups and fires. Be sure to always:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scrape the grates and remove grease buildup after each use.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Empty and cool charcoal ashes before disposing of them in a metal container.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean drip trays regularly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Be Emergency-Ready&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with precautions, accidents can happen. A little preparation goes a long way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep a fire extinguisher nearby or baking soda and\/or a bucket of sand to smother small grease fires.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Never pour water on a grease fire, as it can cause the flames to spread.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Know how to quickly shut off the gas supply in case of emergency.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Respect Your Community&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you live in <a href=\"https:\/\/rentprogress.com\/homes-for-rent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a rental home<\/a> or shared space, make sure your grilling habits are courteous and compliant.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Follow any community guidelines about grill use and placement.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use designated grilling areas if available.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be mindful of smoke and smells that could affect neighbors.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean up your area and recycle foil or disposable trays when possible.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grilling is one of the joys of summer, made even better when done safely and responsibly.&nbsp; By following these tips, you\u2019ll help ensure that your cookouts are memorable for all the right reasons: great food, good company and peace of mind.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the weather warms up and the days get longer, outdoor cooking becomes a favorite pastime for many.
