 Propane and Gas Grill Safety
Adequate ventilation is important to avoid the danger that containers of propane and natural gas could leak. Propane and natural gas cause less injury and death mainly because they do reach the consumer in  the liquid form whose vapors makes gasoline so dangerous.
Propane and natural gas grill users should still observe carefully the manufacturer’s instructions and safety warnings. All such warnings normally include instructions such as the following:
Check all connections carefully before each use
Keep lid open when starting grill
Open valve only ¼ to ½ turn before lighting, to avoid flare-ups
Keep valve closed when not in use
