It's a little hard to enjoy grilled hamburgers, if you've just blown the siding off your house, or set fire to your trousers. That's part of why safety is an important part of grilling.

You've heard this before, but read the grill manufacturer's instructions, and keep those manuals and papers where you can find them later.

What follows is just a quick overview of some high points. You'll find a pretty good discussion of grilling safety at General Grilling Safety, HPBA. (Health, Patio and Barbeque Association)

Before getting into this subject, a disclaimer: Just as I am not a chef, I'm not an expert on safety. What I write should not be viewed as an authoritative resource for grill safety.
