I'm breaking barriers and learning that cooking lean cuts of pork is one of the grilling's best kept secrets.

- Always remember that charcoal and propane grills should only be used outdoors located a safe distance away from the house, deck or patio. Clear away any tree branches or grasses that are within close proximity.

- Children and pets should be kept away from the grilling area.

- Clean grease or fat accumulation from the grill grates and trays.

- Never leave a lot or cooling grill unattended.

- Always use long-handled utensils to avoid contact, burns and splatters.

- Keep baking soda nearby to control a grease fire and have a fire extinguisher available or keep a bucket of sand or a garden hose ready.

Charcoal Grills

- When using starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid without adding any other flammable liquids to the fire or hot coals.

- Keep charcoal starter fluid stored away from any heat sources.

- When using an electric coal starter, use an appropriate extension cord for outdoor use.

- After grilling, allow coals to cool completely before discarding in an appropriate metal container.

Propane Grills

- Always inspect the propane tank hose for any leaks before use. To check for leaks, turn on the propane tank, and apply a light soap and water solution to the hose, any propane leaks will release bubbles.

- If a leak is discovered, turn the tank and grill off to have the grill serviced by a professional before use. If concerned about a leak or grill safety, clear the area near the grill and contact the local fire department.
