WW WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Do NOT attempt to extinguish with water.

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor of grilling..

2.Cook high fat content meats on (LOW) setting or indirectly..

3.Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to drain into a grease receptacle..
