BBQ Safely

Every year in Ontario, people are injured needlessly while lighting their barbecues. The correct way to light your propane barbecue is to open the lid and strike your match or barbecue lighter before turning on the gas. When you are finished barbecuing, turn off the propane cylinder valve and then the barbecue burners. Always use and store your barbecue and propane cylinder outdoors. For information about cleaning and maintaining your barbecue, read the manufacturer's instructions, or call your fire department.
