Gas Grilling Tips From the NYPGA
With the warmer weather comes many opportunities to fire up the gas grill to cook for friends and family. The New York Propane Gas Association has a few reminder tips to make sure that it is a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
- Never use matches or lighters to check for leaks. And never use starter fluid with propane grills.
- Do not smoke while handling a propane cylinder, and keep all flammable materials away from the grill.
- If the grill does not ignite within ten seconds, turn off the gas, keep the lid open and wait five minutes before trying again. If the igniter fails to light the grill after two or three tries, turn off the gas and replace the igniter according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Regularly check the tubes that lead into the burner for blockage from insects or food grease.
- Never attempt to repair, clean or clear blockages on a hot grill.
