Gas Grills

Many gas grills come with stovetop burners. These are wonderful for cooking marinades, sauces and glazes, and for preparing side dishes while you watch the items cook on the grill.

Disposing of Coals

Be very careful when disposing coals. Hot coals can quickly ignite a fire. Let coals burn to ash, and cool completely. Wrap spent coals in heavy duty foil and place carefully in a trash can.
