That’s right everyone.  While you are flipping those burgers and trying to be the host with the most, avoid getting heat for holding an unsafe barbecue at your residence by following our Top 10 Barbecue Safety Techniques.  Below are just a few, but you will have to visit our website to read the whole list:

1.  Always keep a fire extinguisher on hand when grilling!!! 
     It is also helpful to have a garden hose or bucket of water or sand nearby.

2.  Check with your local ordinance codes to see grilling restrictions for your residential property.

3.  Establish a safety zone around the grill.  Keep children, pets and ball games well away from this safety zone.

4.  NEVER keep a filled gas container in a hot car or car trunk.  Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase causing the relief valve to open, allowing gas to escape.
