CHUG: Summer Safety for Outdoor Food Prep

When the weather breaks in the Midwest, the grills come out, and rightfully so! Who doesn’t love a good reason to make memories with loved ones around the table enjoying a good grilled-to-perfection meal?!

At CHUG, we know how important fire safety is, and grills cause a large number of accidents each year.

According to ABCNews, here are some dos and don’ts when practicing grill safety this summer:

• DO: Clean your grill regularly. If you allow grease and fat to build up on your grill, they provide more fuel for a fire. Grease is a major source of flare-ups.

• DON’T: Leave a grill unattended. Fires double in size every minute. Plan ahead so that all of your other food prep chores are done and you can focus on grilling.
