Even though the summer months are coming to an end, it’s never a bad time for you to get some barbecue on the grill. And with many of us looking to celebrate the holidays soon, it won’t necessarily be a bad idea to check out BBQ products NJ in preparation.

With most people still wary of public gatherings, there’s a high probability that anyone looking to enjoy BBQ will be doing so at home. This means that you will want to find ways to enjoy your barbecue in safety and convenience.

So, here are a few important safety tips for you as you work with your home-based grill.

Find the best position to grill

Perhaps the most important safety requirement for you as you grill is the right location. It might be tempting for you to grill while indoors, but this can create carbon monoxide poisoning - very harmful to everyone, especially if they have respiratory challenges.

As a general recommendation, you want to place your grill at least 10 feet from the house. Avid trees or overhangs as well, and generally try not to grill close to lawn decorations or tablecloths. If it can catch fire, it shouldn’t be close to your grill.

Regularly clean your grill

Whenever you use your grill, you should be sure to clean it before reusing it. Focus on taking away any form of grease or grime that could build up in the grill and cause flare-ups or possible fires. Plus, it doesn’t sound so nice when you’re trying to make food and you see last week’s leftovers there.

Always inspect the grill

It’s not so rare for grills to develop issues with their propane levels or other functionality problems. So, be sure to examine yours from time to time to ensure that it’s operating optimally.

Start by checking your gas lines, then place some soap on potential problem areas to see if there are any leaks. If you notice a gas leak, we’ll recommend replacing the entire grill if the problem area can’t be fixed.

Put on the proper gear

It’s also important to watch out what you wear when you grill. Grilling gloves and long-sleeved shirts can protect your arms from the fire of the grill, but be careful not to wear overly loose clothing because it could also catch on fire.

You should also be careful with your hair. If it’s too long, the last thing you want is for it to catch on fire as well.

Propane Refill

Are you looking for propane refill in NJ? Modern Propane has been providing propane refill in NJ since 1969.

Propane Refill

A propane tank is a strong, resilient container that helps to store liquid propane gas under pressure. Its job is to maintain the propane, protecting it - and, by extension, you - from the weather and extreme elements.

However, even the strongest propane tanks come with limited shelf lives. And once a tank goes bad, then you need more than just a propane refill - you’ll need to change the tank itself.

How long is a propane tank good for?

On average, a propane tank should be qualified for 12 years of work from the day it is manufactured. Note that in some countries, you might be required by law to change your propane tank every 10 years.

Generally, you should be able to get the right information from your dealer to be on the safest side.

How to tell if your propane tank needs to be changed

Usually, the easiest way to check the state of your propane tank will be to look at its handle or collar area. This won’t let you know when the tank will expire, but it will at least indicate when the tank was manufactured. With a little more background information, this will  help you to determine how much time is left for the propane tank, and when you should expect to get a replacement.

Reading the markings on your propane tank

When you see the propane tanks handle, you’d find a few stamped markings. These markings offer critical information that should indicate your tank’s capacity rating and its origination.

A date will appear on the tank handle, indicating the date of manufacturing. The date is usually written in the Month-Year format, so a tank that was made in April 2022 will read “04-22.”

Propane tanks also come with unique identification stamped on them. These tags are similar to the ID tags put on vehicles, and they help propane dealers to properly track and keep records of every tank in circulation.

You can also find additional markings on the tank that indicate its weight - listed as “TW.” For times when you might have to weigh the tank to gauge how much propane is left, this stamp comes in handy. There’s also a “WC” stamp that indicated the tank’s capacity to store water. It helps you know how much propane can be stored in the tank, so you don’t overfill it.
