Ventilation is a very important factor in grilling safely. Most grills produce a lot of smoke, which can include carbon monoxide. However, not all grills ventilate that smoke in the same way – you’ll need to figure out how to use your grill while still getting fresh air. If your grill is too close to your house or decking, you might find that the heat discolors or even melts it. Give yourself some space! If your grill runs on propane, spend some time to make sure the connections are tight and all the parts are free of leaks or cracks.
