Staying safe with your Great British BBQ Make sure you follow these golden rules to ensure you are barbecuing safely, wherever you are and whatever the weather...
- When setting up your BBQ, ensure it stands clear of the ground so that there is no possibility of damage.
- No matter how dreary the Great British weather gets, never bring your BBQ inside, even if your windows or tent doors are left open as there won’t be enough ventilation to prevent CO poisoning. Your BBQ should only be brought inside once completely cool, 3 hours or more after it was put out.
- If using a disposable BBQ, be aware that they can release carbon monoxide even when cool, so you must never store used disposable barbecues inside your home, tent, caravan, campervan or any enclosed area.
- If you are using a BBQ away from home, for example when caravanning or camping, make sure the BBQ you buy is an appropriate size for your unit; a large gas BBQ isn’t ideal for tent camping, but likewise if you are family of four travelling in a motorhome, you will have more space to store a larger BBQ!
