Safety in your Sizzle GET READY FOR BBQ SEASON! Put this three-step BBQ safety check on the menu: 1. Clean: Use a pipe cleaner or wire to make sure the burner ports are free of rust, dirt, spider webs or other debris. 2. Check: Examine the hose leading from the tank to the burners. Replace if cracked or damaged. 3. Test: Find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap to propane cylinder connections and hoses.
