Every summer, backyard chefs are injured and property is dam­ aged in gas barbecue fires. Here are a few safety tips to ensure your barbecue parties don’t go up in smoke. 1. There’s only one way to connect a propane cylinder to a barbecue-the right way. Follow the manufacturer’s instruc­ tions closely and keep the fuel hose away from any metal parts which may become hot. 2. Check for leaks regularly; Brush a soap and water solution over hoses and connectors and open the cylinder valve. If there’s a leak, bubbles will form in the soap film. 3. Keep your barbecue at least 10 feet from buildings, overhangs and combustible structures. 4. Don’t try to light a barbecue with the lid closed. If it fails to light or goes out, turn the gas off and wait five minutes before relighting. 5. When finished, close all valves. 6. Never bring propane cylinders indoors. I A small leak can cause a major explosion. 7. If you suspect your barbecue isn’t working properly, have it checked by a qualified serviceman. Make sure you don’t have to invite the fire department to your next barbecue.
