General information
The site provides general educational information. It cannot inspect your grill, confirm local fire rules, assess a gas connection, diagnose equipment, evaluate a person’s health risk or determine from a distance whether food is safe.
Heat and fire
Outdoor cooking involves flame, hot surfaces, smoke, grease and fuel. Use grills outdoors in well-ventilated locations, follow manufacturer clearances and lighting instructions, keep children and pets away and never leave a lit grill unattended.
Food safety
Safe temperatures and storage practices are based on official guidance available when reviewed. Rules may change and special populations or commercial food service may require additional precautions.
No product endorsement
Discussion of grill types, tools, fuels or ingredients does not constitute endorsement of a manufacturer, retailer or product. Product specifications and recalls can change.
Results vary
Cooking times, costs, quantities and flavour outcomes vary. A thermometer, equipment manual and sound judgment are more reliable than a fixed timer or photograph.
