July is National Grilling Month
Safety Tips For Grilling
Holidays in July
The National Fire Protection Agency reports that barbecue grills
caused about 1,000 structure fires and 3,400 outdoor fires in one recent
year.
It’s important to realize that safe grilling begins before the cooking
starts. With gas grills, check the connection between the propane tank and
the fuel line to be sure it is working properly and not leaking. If you
suspect a leak, put soapy water on the area and watch for bubbles to
discover where it is. Never use a match to check for a gas leak, and never
light the grill until the leak is fixed.
Position any grill on a level surface that is at least three feet away
from other objects, including the house and shrubs or bushes. Keep
children and pets away from the cooking area.
When you’re ready to barbecue, protect yourself with a heavy apron
and oven mitts that fit well over your forearm. When the party is over,
store the grill outside and away from the house. Make sure the valves are
turned off.

For charcoal grills, use only starter fluids designed for that purpose.
Never use gasoline. If the fire is slow, add dry kindling. Don’t add more
liquid starter or you could cause a flash fire. 6 International Kissing Day
Remember to soak the coals with water before you put them in the
trash. Never use a barbeque indoors or in an unventilated space. It’s a
fire hazard and could cause all kinds of problems. 13 Embrace Your Geekness Day
The LIGHTER SIDE:
Ralph passed away. His will provided $30,000 for an elaborate
funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife, Helen, turned to
her oldest friend and said, “I’m sure Ralph would be pleased.”
“I’m sure you’re right,” replied Jody, “How much did this really
cost?”
“All of it,” said Helen. “The funeral was $6,500. I gave $500 to the
church. The wake and food were another $500. The rest was for the
memorial stone.”
Jody computed quickly. “$22,500 for a memorial stone? How big is
it?!”
Helen thought a moment before replying softly, “Two and a half
carats!” 
