🔥Maintain a kid-and-pet-free zone of at least 3 feet around the grill

🔥Never leave a grill unattended

🔥Only use approved materials to get the grill started

🔥Cool your grill before you store it

🔥Use the right tools, including long-handled utensils, heat-resistant gloves, and flame-retardant clothing

🔥Never grill indoors
