Propane
for home
can be a good way to fuel your grill. Not only is it useful for heating and
drying clothes, it can be used to power a gas grill in any season, too. If you
will be doing a lot of grilling at home, residential propane gas can be
cost-effective, energy-saving, and efficient in the long run. You can make the
experience of grilling with home propane better and safer by practicing
these safety precautions:
- The basics – Keep kids and pets away from the grill, never leave it unattended, and make sure the lid is open before you light it up.
- Know how to
operate the grill and use it outdoors – Make sure you grill outdoors,
preferably in a well-ventilated area. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
on how to use the grill and make sure all manuals are easily accessible in
case you need them.
- Store the grill
properly – Make sure all burner controls are switched off and that the
cylinder valve is fully closed before storing the grill or when you are
not using it. Keep residential propane gas cylinders in an upright
(vertical) position and make sure nothing can topple them over. Keep them
outdoors, but away from sources that can cause them to ignite (i.e. lighters,
matches, and heat). Disconnect the burner air intakes and hose-end
fittings and cover them with small plastic bags if you do not have
protective fitting caps.
- Have your home propane supplier inspect the cylinders – When it is time for a refill, a reputable and trustworthy propane provider should check your cylinders for any leaks, damage, rust, or dents. When transporting the grill, make sure that the vehicle is properly ventilated and that the cylinder valve is capped, plugged, and closed.
- Test for leaks – When it is time for grilling season again, have your propane gas grill checked for any leaks. Apply a solution of water and light soap to the hose, and if there is a leak, it should bubble. In case of a leak, turn off the grill and the gas tank and call your residential propane gas supplier.
