"How To Light A Gas Grill"
A gas grill is easy to start up compared to charcoal units. Normally a flick of a switch and you are ready to go. (oh ya!)
• Always check the tank for any obvious leaks. (safety first!)
• Open the lid and any air vents. We need good air ventilation to get the fire going. (no air, no fire!)
• Slowly open the valve on the tank to let the gas through.
• Turn on one of the gas burners. (low setting)
• Either switch the auto ignitor on or throw a lit match near the burner to get the fire going.
• Turn up the heat on the burner and you ready to start grilling. (awsome!)
This is a general safe method for lighting up a gas grill but
always use the manufacturers instruction to get the best results.(they
might have a better method)

"Cooking With Gas - Tips"
• Look after the tank, burners and connectors, so no leaks and cracks form. Keep the grill covered! (safety first!)• Light up the burners at the highest temperature for 5 minutes before you start grilling. This will burn off any leftover residue. (easy way to clean!)
• Always follow manufacturers instructions when using your gas grill.
• Keep lava rocks clean, as any built up grease can cause flare ups. Replace any lava rocks that have broken apart.
• The only real danger with gas grilling is the propane or gas used is highly flammable. Get into the habit of doing routine checks before you start grilling.
• Always store your gas tank in a safe dry spot, out of the way of direct heat from the sun.
• Make sure all fittings are fitted tightly so no gas leaks while you are grilling.
• Don't let a minor under the age of sixteen operate a gas grill unattended. (no kids, please!)

"Great Gas Extras - Gas Grill Cooking"
Most gas grills have built in electronic igniter which means no more fuss with matches or lighters.
And...these days, gas burners have become really versatile to how they used to be. Let me explain...
You can set your grill really low so that the burner only lets off a little gas. This allows slow grilling for your more delicate foods like chicken. No more burnt chicken!!
Plus... you can also leave your sauces on, to keep warm!
The other end of the scale you can set your burner to a high level which lets off a lot of gas. By doing this you create a very high heat which is great for fast grilling!
Great for searing steaks and boiling water!! Just like the kitchen stove.
The burner flames are easy to control and can be turned off and on with a flick of the switch. (see why gas is so popular?)
That raps up gas grill cooking!
