Safe Grilling Tips from the Pennsylvania Propane Gas Association - PAPGA

HARRISBURG, Pa., June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Can't you just taste those steaks, brats and veggies sizzling on your outdoor grill? Summer is quickly approaching and PAPGA wants to make sure that everyone has the latest resources for a safe and wonderful grilling season.

Here are a few examples of the tips available at www.PApropane.com:

• Never Grill in a covered area such as a garage or covered patio because gases can build up
• Never attempt to move a grill while it is lit
• Remember to store any extra propane cylinders outdoors and in an upright position
• If your kids insist on being involved, give them a safe task, like brushing on marinade or carrying plates and spices to and from storage areas

The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) has produced a webpage featuring Chef and Author John Besh, recipes and links to the Interactive Safe Grilling Module, tips on getting kids involved and the safe grilling checklist. The webpage is accessible at http://www.usepropane.com/safe_grilling/
