Summer is a great time of year to enjoy a backyard barbecue. Warmer weather means it’s time for good food surrounded by good friends. Some people have strong preferences when you ask them what type of barbecue they prefer to use. However, whether you’re a fan of charcoal, gas, or something else entirely, you’ll want to make sure you’re using your barbecue as safely as possible to avoid damage to your home and injury to your loved ones.
One very important principle when using your barbecue is to make sure there’s a lot of open space around it. Smoke from the barbecue needs to be properly ventilated, and it can’t do so without some room to maneuver. Radiant heat from a barbecue can also be damaging to nearby structures. As an example, it would be a very bad idea to use a barbecue that is cozied up right next to an exterior wall of your home.
