| Never use a charcoal grill indoors, garages, tents or enclosed places
DALLAS, May 26 () -- Operating a charcoal grill indoors -- or inside garages, tents,[url=http://www.christianslouboutinsales.com]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url], RVs or other enclosed places -- should be avoided, even if it is raining, U.S. experts warn.Dr. Brett Arnoldo, a burn surgeon at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, said burning charcoal produces carbon monoxide -- a colorless and odorless gas -- that can kill when burned indoors or in any enclosed places outdoors such as a tent."When you're smelling the barbecue, it's easy to forget that grills -- both gas and charcoal -- are still an open source of flame and a potential danger," Arnoldo said in a statement.To prevent burns Arnoldo advises:-- Don't pour water directly on coals. Beware of steam that can rise unexpectedly and scald.-- Use baking powder to help contain grease fires. Always have an extinguisher nearby in case flames get out of control or something else nearby catches fire.-- Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and pets, and away from any source of heat, including grills and fire pits. Never use gasoline as a source of ignition.-- Never leave a lit grill unattended, and designate an area around the grill for children to avoid. Children and pets should remain at least 3 feet from a grill to help avoid burns or accidentally knocking over the grill.-- Don't lean directly over the grill. Be aware of clothing such as scarves, shirt tails or apron strings that can catch fire when bending over. Consider flame-retardant oven mitts and long utensils to avoid burns.-- Never try to move a hot grill. Be sure to wait for coals to cool off before disposing. |
