One of my favorite things about summer! Thanks for the tips!
Your welcome Andrea. 🙂
My husband and I love to grill…yum:) Great tips!
It has been a while since we last grilled out. I cheat and use a george forman grill for hotdogs. 🙂
We had a freak snow storm in the beginning of spring right after we took our grill out and I guess with the extreme temperature change and perhaps the weight of snow on the knobs, we ended up with a gas leak. Flames ended up coming out of two of the knobs and melted them!) It is such a scary thing to deal with when you’re not prepared! Lesson learned.
Bummer Anna. I hope am glad everyone was okay and didn’t get hurt. That could have been disastrous.
We have a lovely BBQ and I must admit when we have one the kids are kept miles away from it. Great article x
That is awesome Emma, glad you make sure that the kids are kept safe. Thank you for sharing.
I wish my backyard was big enough for a grill. We just remodeled our deck, and our furniture takes up the majority of space. But these are great tips for other families!
Awww, they make some neat table top grills to sit on top of a table. I hope that you enjoy your new deck. Thank you for sharing.
