Simple tips for a safe barbecue

Barbecues are a fun summer tradition when operated in a safe manner. Only use approved lighter fluid.

Never use gasoline or any other flammable liquids to start the charcoal.

Never add additional fluid once the fire has been started because singed eyebrows are embarrassing.

After your barbecue, place the used coals in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.

Leave the container on a non-combustible surface for at least three days before discarding them in the trash.

Have a fun and safe barbecue season.
