Charcoal Grill Safety: Preparing to Cook
§Keep children at a distance
§Keep charcoal lighters out of reach of children
§Never add starter fluid to hot/warm coals
§Never use gasoline to start, enhance or revive a fire
       Pay close attention to these simple rules.  It can be easy to overlook them when entertaining guests at a social gathering.
Again, the emphasis should be on keeping children at a safe distance. This can be done by marking a safety zone around the grill which they are forbidden to enter.
Make sure charcoal lighters are kept out of reach of children.
Never add charcoal starter fluid to hot or warm coals.
Don’t ever use gasoline to start or strengthen a charcoal grill fire.

(Bridge)  These rules apply to starting and maintaining the fire in your charcoal grill.  How should you prepare for putting out the fire in an emergency and when you’re finished cooking?
