Friday 26th July 2024

As summer graces us with its warm embrace, the weekend promises to be a scorcher, perfect for firing up the BBQ.

Whether you're at home in your garden or enjoying a holiday getaway, safety should be your top priority to ensure a fun and hazard-free grilling experience. Here are our essential tips for keeping your LPG BBQ and pizza oven in tip-top condition while safeguarding yourself and your loved ones.

Never Use Your BBQ Indoors: This includes inside tents, marquees, yurts, shepherd huts, and summer houses. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious risk when BBQs are used in enclosed spaces.
Keep BBQs Outside: Even if your BBQ is still smouldering after cooking, do not bring it indoors. It can still emit harmful fumes. Always leave your BBQ outside.
Set Up on Level Ground: Ensure your BBQ or pizza oven is placed on level ground to minimize the risk of tipping over.
Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions: Adhere to the guidelines for use, maintenance, and care provided by the manufacturer to avoid accidents and ensure proper functioning.
Qualified Repairs and Replacements: Gas components should only be repaired or replaced by competent, qualified individuals. Check the Gas Safe Register for qualified installers in your area.
Post-Weekend Cleanup: At the end of your BBQ session, give your equipment a thorough clean. Disconnect gas cylinders when not in use and store them in a dry place.

By following these tips, you can enjoy your BBQ safely and make the most of the sunny weekend ahead. Happy grilling!
