Safety measures when lighting the grill When lighting the grill you must ensure that everything is in order, in good condition and working properly. If your grill is gas, check that the hoses are not kinked or broken, as this can lead to a leak. Consider that gas grills should be used in open spaces, at least three meters away from any construction happening at ichs town islamabad and away from plants or bushes, especially if they are dry. Usually each grill comes with an instruction manual. Although it may sound tedious, it is best that you read them in detail, since it is a utensil that you do not usually use often. If you have a classic charcoal grill, put enough charcoal or briquettes in it to create a fire that doesn’t completely calcine your roast. You can use flammable liquids to ignite the coal, but never use alcohol or gasoline, because in addition to being dangerous, they will get impregnated in your food. Once the charcoal has ignited, do not add more liquid or you can cause flares and hurt someone. There are other options you can use to keep fire going, such as dry leaves, special lighters, starters, and even your own snack. Whatever you want to do, do it with caution making sure that no lighted items come out of the grill.

Leave a space on the grill where you keep the fire low or null to place food in case the flames flare up and you can’t control them.

Sometimes the charcoal can continue to burn, even if there are no flames. If you don’t have water or soil, let it cool for 48 hours.

What to do in case of a fire If for any reason the flames get out of control, try to close the grill so that the lack of oxygen turns them off immediately. When the flames spread outside the grill, it is necessary to put dirt or sand on the base of these to reduce the fire or to use a fire extinguisher directly. If it is not enough, move away from the fire in the opposite direction to the smoke and, perpendicularly, to the advance of the fire.
