Be careful to avoid safety issues while grilling

Warmer weather means it’s time to grill. Before firing it up, make sure your grill is working properly.

First, check your grill for gas leaks. It’s also recommended to keep a fire extinguisher handy.
You’ll also want to avoid wearing long-sleeved shirts while cooking, so your clothes don’t catch fire. 
If you use lighter fluid, be sure to move it away from the grill once it’s lit.

If you can’t light a gas a gas grill after the first two attempts, Dr. Tom Waters, an emergency room physician, explained you need to turn it off, let it air out and then inspect why it might not be working before you continue to try and light it. This is to avoid any flare ups or big explosions of gas.

If you suffer a minor burn while grilling, it can be treated with antibiotic ointments. However, if the burn is larger than the palm of your hand, you should get medical help.
