Safe Grilling Tips

-- Propane Education & Research Council

  • Always follow grill manufacturer's instructions and keep written materials accessible.
  • When lighting a grill, make sure the top is open.
  • Always use or store cylinders outdoors in an upright (vertical) position.
  • When the cylinder is refilled, have the supplier check for dents, damage, rust, or leaks.
  • Before connecting or lighting a propane gas grill, use a leak-detection solution to check connections for tightness. Do not use matches or lighters to check for leaks. Your propane gas supplier has leak-detection solutions and instructions.
  • After filling or exchanging, take the cylinder home immediately. Keep the vehicle ventilated and the cylinder valve closed and capped.
  • If there is an uncontrollable release of gas, call the fire department.
  • Do not allow children to tamper or play with the cylinder or grill.
  • Do not smoke while handling a propane cylinder.
  • When not in use, make sure all grill burner controls are turned off and that the cylinder valve is closed.
  • Do not use, store, or transport cylinders near high temperatures (this includes storing spare cylinders near the grill).
  • When a grill is not in use, cover disconnected hose-end fittings with small, plastic bags or protective caps to keep clean.
  • Never pour accelerant such as lighter fluid on the grill.
