Grilling food outside – for many that is one of the highlights of the summer. It offers some good flavor and a nice experience. You should however make sure that you are staying safe when using a grill.

Grills give off a lot of heat and they can ignite nearby things if you don’t have them at a good distance from anything that is flammable. Even vinyl siding on your home could melt from the heat given off of a grill, so you should keep that in mind.

Never use a grill in an enclosed area. While some might have been told that many times, they might not realize that it could cost them their lives if they do it. Carbon monoxide will kill quickly if you are in an enclosed area with a grill, and early on, the effect of CO poisoning will make it hard to focus and keep your balance, so make sure there is good ventilation where you are using the grill.
