Grill Outdoors

The first safety point should be fairly obvious. Grill outdoors. Don't grill in an enclosed area, like a garage. Grilling with charcoal or LP gas generates carbon monoxide, which can be lethal. Under normal outdoor conditions, the gentlest breeze will carry the gas away. Inside, that doesn't happen. Grilling in a garage, in the basement, or some other place that isn't outside, can kill. Even if you leave a window open.

Besides, if you don't grill outside, you'll never enjoy the thrill of grilling in the rain. Or snow. And you won't have the comforting experience of having your spouse call you in out of a hailstorm.
