We do a lot of barbecuing, just like they do out in Texas. Believe it or not, a lot of people take barbecuing grills into the house when it rains.
People take them into the house and what they are
not really aware of is that barbecue grills put off carbon monoxide, and that is a deadly poison. You can be in that house and you could be grilling and not be aware that you are really putting out carbon monoxide, which is killing your family. So we stress to people to never take a grill in the house to barbecue. If it rains, just cover it and wait till it stops raining.
A lot of people put barbecue grills under their garage where they are not well ventilated and then we have the same thing taking place there: carbon monoxide being emitted from the barbecue grill. We tell people who use a gas grill to make sure and check the connections between the line and the tank before they start cooking. Make sure that there are no leaks. Believe it or not, we have had people who use matches to check to see if those things are leaking. We tell people not to use matches to check to see if the tank is leaking, just put a little soapy water around the connection. You can see the bubbles coming up around the connection and that lets you know that it is leaking. So, you don't want to use matches to check for those leaks.
You want to have a designated area for that particular barbecue area. You want to make sure that it is a "no play zone" for the children around that area where you are going to be barbecuing. You want to make sure that you have your grill at least three to four feet from other objects near the home, like your shrubs and bushes.
