Checking your BBQ

The leading cause of BBQ fires is equipment failure, leaks or breaks – these cause over 60% of outdoor fires*

Use the correct type of hose. Do not make temporary connections. Keep hose gently curved to prevent kinks and damage.

Check hoses to make sure they have not perished by brushing or spraying on soapy water and checking for bubbles.

Check hoses for blockages, such as spiders, which might have nested inside during winter.

Check connections to make sure that they are clean and fitting snugly
