No matter what month it is, some folks like grilling food all year long! After all, nothing beats the taste of a juicy steak or sizzling sausages cooked on a propane grill.
But even though you may be the “King (or Queen) of the Grill,” there’s one important safety tip you should be aware of:
Never operate a propane-powered gas grill inside the home! Doing so creates a severe risk of fatal carbon monoxide poisoning and accidental house fires!
In addition to your propane grill, you should NEVER use any outdoor propane appliance indoors! Only use appliances indoors that are designed and approved for indoor use, such as a propane-fired fireplace, kitchen range, or clothes dryer.
Here are two more safety tips to keep you and your family safe:
-
Practice proper tank storage: Propane tanks should always be stored outside in a dry place, on an even surface, and should have ample ventilation. NEVER store or place a propane cylinder indoors or in an enclosed area such as a basement, garage, shed, or tent.
-
