Gas barbecues are
a convenient and
economical way to
enjoy outdoor cooking, buf they
must be used carefully and kept in
good condition.
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.

A small leak
can cause
a major

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. For a free
