    THANK YOU for walking me through BBQ grill safety! I was so scared to start my grill because i thought it might blow up, i let it sit for YEARS too afraid to touch it. I followed your video and i am off and running!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your very understandable instructions and very clear videography! I am so looking forward to using my outdoor grill for the first time this season. Summertime - here i come! :-D

    Excellent tip--shut off gas tank first, prior to shutting down the gas knobs when completed grilling. THANKS!

    I was gifted a flat top by my mother and want to try it out, not experienced at all with propane and want to make sure I'm being safe with it. I've only used charcoal before so I'm really grateful for these safety tips.

    I never thought to turn the tank off first. I guess that helps to make sure there's no gas left in the line. And it will also tell you if your shut off on the tank is not working. I've read it is a good idea to disconnect the propane tank from the grill when it is stored for longer periods. Dont want a little kiddo playing adult and turning those colorful knobs. Thanks for the tips. I just bought my first propane grill. I learned some good safety tips.

  • @colemoyer2572
    @colemoyer2572 Před 21 dnem

    I was doing all of this WRONG!! I would never check the tank for leaks. To start it I would let gas build up and with lid closed and come over and toss a match. My starter doesn’t work so I still have to toss matches but I don’t really give a fuck I want burgers. Happy fourth and thanks to the wonderful team at Prince George for the wonderful informative video!!

    He has some good tips, but when it doesn't light, you air it out for 5 MINUTES.
    That is per the National Fire Protection Association.
    Also, use a grill 10 feet or more away from structures.
    He didn't check for leaks along the hose with the soap-water solution. That would be good to do!

    • @supergirl857dooms5

    I just got my first gas grill to use in the fall and winter when it gets dark early. I want to get a 20 pounds tank with the hose but for now I am using the small 1 pound tanks. I know not to store them indoors. I am thinking of leaving them on the porch but they will be right next to the back door. I am wondering should I put them in a container and cover them? And drill holes for them to breathe incase they leak? The grill will be stored inside. Also we get a lot of snow and temperatures of below 0 degrees. I'm in Chicago. Thanks for the video.
