So whether you\u2019re a king or queen of the grill or it\u2019s your first time with the tongs, here are our tips to make your barbecuing season safe and accident-free.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Getting started<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>First up, find the safest place for your barbecue or firepit. Set it up on a level surface, far from buildings, fences and plants \u2013 trees and hedges included. Steer clear of sheds, tents or gazebos, too \u2013 especially if it\u2019s windy. And don\u2019t be tempted to ever BBQ under cover \u2013 or even in the entrance \u2013 of tents or gazebos. Yes, even if it\u2019s pouring with rain!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a disposable barbecue, remember that the bottom can get really hot so always use it on surfaces that aren\u2019t flammable, like your patio or on bricks. Place firepits on a hard surface unless you\u2019re digging it into the ground, in which case make sure there\u2019s a fire-break area of soil around it.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, think about what you\u2019re wearing if you\u2019re in charge of the barbecue. It may be a sunny day, but don\u2019t wear anything too loose or with big sleeves which might catch fire.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><br \/>Lighting up!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now you\u2019ve got your set up sorted, it\u2019s time to light up.<\/p>\n<p>Firelighters are by far your safest option for barbecues and firepits. It\u2019s best to avoid flammable liquids like petrol, paraffin or lighter fuel. If your barbecue runs on gas, make sure the cylinder is turned off before you change it. And check for gas leaks by brushing soapy water on the pipe and watching to see if bubbles appear.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got young children or pets, always keep them away from open fires. Remember that pets, especially dogs, are easy to trip over, especially if they\u2019ve appeared at the smell of food! To be absolutely safe, it\u2019s best to keep animals indoors, out of harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a safe option is to have a bucket of sand or water close to hand, in case of emergencies. And never leave a fire unattended! Things can happen quickly, so always make sure someone is present.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Winding down<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The barbecue may be over but don\u2019t bin your ashes or briquettes until they\u2019ve cooled.<br \/>Remember that ashes can stay hot for several days after the fire is over, so give them time.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it, our tips for safe barbecuing. Follow them and grill with confidence!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are lots of things us Brits like to disagree on, but almost all of us love a BBQ.
