Trapped propane under a lid will act like a bomb when lit. If your grill doesn\u2019t start immediately, wait five minutes for gas fumes to clear before trying again.&nbsp;<\/li><li>If you use a gas grill, check for dents in the propane tank. They could signal a potential leak.<\/li><li>Ensure the grill is positioned well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of each grilling season, check the gas tank hose for leaks. Turn on the gas (but don&#8217;t light the grill) and apply a light soap and water solution to the hose. If there is a leak, you will see little bubbles at its source. At that point, turn off the gas and replace the hose or call a repairman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COOK CLEAN &#8211; EAT CLEAN!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBQ Service Pro&#8217;s\u00a0barbecue-grill cleaning service and repairs can help.
