Grilling food is a popular activity in Theater. Burns are a common type of barbecue-related injury. Common sense is the best way to prevent them.
Follow these grilling safety tips:
- Use a charcoal starter chimney or tube, which starts a charcoal fire by burning paper rather than lighter fluid.
- Do not over feed your charcoal fire with starter fluid. It will flare up when it is lit.
- Do not spray charcoal lighter fluid on an open flame or hot coals.
- Do not smoke while handling the lighter fluid.
- Avoid big fires. Burn just enough fuel to cook the food.
- Place the grill away from the living container.
- Use hot pads or insulated gloves when touching hot metal.
- Ensure the fire is extinguished when the cooking is finished.
- Keep the barbecue covered when not in use. Make sure it's cool before being covered.
