Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the lit fire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Never burn charcoal inside of homes, vehicles, tents, or campers. Charcoal should never be used indoors, even if ventilation is provided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When you are finished grilling, let the coals completely cool before disposing in a metal container.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Since charcoal produces CO fumes until the charcoal is completely extinguished, do not store the grill indoors with freshly used coals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Store charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><em><strong>Cooking on Gas Grills<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Check grill hoses for cracking, brittleness, holes, and leaks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you detect a leak, immediately turn off the gas and
