The high risk of forest and brush fires may limit Ontarians' enjoyment of summer evenings by .the campfire this year. Many people say that while there's no substitute for the smell of a wood fire, they're pulling out barbecues barbecues to toast the marshmallows at weekend gatherings. Ontario's Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations reminds anyone using a new or used propane barbecue for the first time this season to clean the equipment and make sure it is safe before lighting it. To start off on the right foot when buying a new barbecue, look for the approval stamp of a recognized standards standards association, such as Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada or the Canadian Standards Association. Models that haven't been approved may be made for foreign markets with different fuels than ours or may not have been safety tested at all. Your barbecue should be thoroughly thoroughly cleaned with hot soapy water before it's used. Check carefully for any obstruction of burner tubes and ports. You should do this often, throughout the season. Spiders and other insects love to build webs and nests in barbecues, so it's possible a unit operating perfectly one day could be dangerous the next. Burners must be removed for cleaning. cleaning. Use a stiff brush to clean a cast- iron burner or a cloth and soapy water for a stainless steel burner. A thin wire can be used to open clogged burner ports. Make sure the burner is seated properly at the gas valves when you replace it. If, after cleaning, you notice there's still a poor flame, or none at all, at the burner ports, suspect an obstruction and turn off the gas at the cylinder valve, immediately. Other signs of blockages include a flame in the lower part of the burner assembly, a propane smell or a high- pitched whistling noise. If you notice any of these turn off the gas at the cylinder at once and have your barbe- 1 cue checked by a licensed profession- ! al.
