how to check Barbecue safety before you cook!

If you haven't used your barbecue recently:

• Check the gas cylinder - a gas cylinder must not be refilled if it has not been tested for over 10 years or if the cylinder has been damaged. Exchange LP Gas cylinders at a reputable supplier to avoid this problem
• Check the hose to make sure it has not perished
• Check connections to make sure that they are tight - get into the habit of doing this regularly
• 
  

If you have a new barbecue:

New barbecues need to be assembled carefully. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and check that your connections are tight. Look before you cook and make it a regular habit.

Check for leaks using soapy water

Check the hose and regulator connections by spraying them with a soapy water solution like common household detergent. Bubbles will form if gas is escaping. If in doubt, turn off the gas and contact a licensed gasfitter. Leak-test the connection to the cylinder every time you connect it - serious leaks are common and can be dangerous.

                         

Use the right type of gas

Check the data plate on your barbecue to find out what type of gas it uses. Never use a barbecue on the wrong gas and don't use Autogas, as it differs from LP and natural gas. It is not safe (or legal) to fill a barbecue cylinder at an Autogas dispenser.

Use your barbecue in an open and clear space

Gas appliances need adequate ventilation. Barbecues must not be used indoors or in a confined space, where they might cause toxic fumes and smoke or start a fire. To prevent a fire hazard ensure there is adequate clearance around the barbecue. Never use a barbecue designed for outdoor use inside a caravan, tent, garage or house.

Operate your barbecue properly and safely

Use the correct cooking tools and wear an apron to protect from being splashed by hot fat. Remove all excess fat from the barbecue after each use to prevent a fire hazard. Do not use barbecues in windy conditions as the burners may blow out, risking a gas leak - barbecues do not have a safety device to turn off the gas when the flame goes out.
