Gas Grills

Even though you have been grilling for a while now, there are a few things to check before you turn the gas on next time.      

• Check the tubes that enter into the burners for any blockage from spider webs, grease, insects or dirt.  Clean any blocked pathways pushing any debris into the burner.
• Make sure the hoses are free of cracks and leaks.  Replace if necessary.
• Review owners manual and follow instructions when checking for gas leaks
• If you smell gas don’t use the grill until the problem is fixed.

Following these tips will keep your day safe and you will have taken a step towards being fire safe at home and in the wildlands.
