THANK YOU for walking me through BBQ grill safety! I was so scared to start my grill because i thought it might blow up, i let it sit for YEARS too afraid to touch it. I followed your video and i am off and Thank you so much for your very understandable instructions and very clear videography! I am so looking forward to using my outdoor grill for the first time this season. Summertime - here i come! :-D

Propane tanks make me nervous because I fear I may be doing something wrong. Thank you for the tips, good man.

Excellent tip--shut off gas tank first, prior to shutting down the gas knobs when completed grilling. THANKS!

Thank you much!! I got my first grill today, and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!! Thank you all first responders!!!

I was gifted a flat top by my mother and want to try it out, not experienced at all with propane and want to make sure I'm being safe with it. I've only used charcoal before so I'm really grateful for these safety tips.

I’ve watched this a gazillion times and will keep watching it every time I grill. Thank You for this video. Much love from California, USA❤

I'll tell you what, this video is amazing. Safety first with propane!

I never thought to turn the tank off first. I guess that helps to make sure there's no gas left in the line. And it will also tell you if your shut off on the tank is not working. I've read it is a good idea to disconnect the propane tank from the grill when it is stored for longer periods. Dont want a little kiddo playing adult and turning those colorful knobs. Thanks for the tips. I just bought my first propane grill. I learned some good safety tips.

Looking for a video about how to turn my grill on. Glad I found this. I had never used it before and used the soap check and it was leaking. We bought a new hose. Thanks!

[miralori]

Thank you for such a helpful video for people like me who know nothing of how to simply start using a gas grill. Now I feel a lot more confident this summer.

[sherrywebster]

Thanks ! I was just gifted an older Weber gas grill and had no idea how to operate it.

[socalsal]

Just got my very first propane tank and am SO glad to find this video!! THANK YOU!

Thank you for the tips! First time griller here and I’m ready now. 😊

[shacareedixon]

Thank you so much. We moved in a home with a gas grill and had no clue how to use it. Safety First!

Thank you so much for this video. I want to keep from what happened last family reunion from happening again. I miss my Granny so much. I told her to stand back.

[colemoyer]

I was doing all of this WRONG!! I would never check the tank for leaks. To start it I would let gas build up and with lid closed and come over and toss a match. My starter doesn’t work so I still have to toss matches but I don’t really give a fuck I want burgers. Happy fourth and thanks to the wonderful team at Prince George for the wonderful informative video!!

Thank you- I needed this. Just got a propane grill the other day.

Don't forget to know where the fire extinguisher is just in case the world decides to hate you or you accidentally do something irresponsible 😊

Thank you for the tips! First time griller here and I’m ready now.
