Barbecuing

  • Use only enough charcoal lighter to start the fire. Keep the flame low.
  • Never use gasoline to start the fire.
  • Keep the grill lid closed when cooking or waiting for charcoal to properly heat.
  • When cooking, the grill should be constantly attended.
  • Have an approved fire extinguisher close by and know how to use it.
  • Let coals cool overnight or wet the ashes thoroughly prior to disposal. Dispose of ashes by placing them into a metal container with a tight-fitting metal lid.
  • Keep matches, lighters, and combustible liquids out of reach and out of sight of children.
  • Do not use or store barbecue grills on common balconies used for exiting.
  • It is strongly recommended that barbecues not be used on balconies or terraces
