What's the best place to store your gas cylinder in an outdoor kitchen set up? Here are a few important things to keep in mind to make sure your cooking adventures are safe and enjoyable.
First and foremost, proper storage of your gas cylinder is key. Never, and we mean never, store your cylinder under the grill or any hot appliance. This is a serious safety hazard that could lead to overheating, leaks, and even explosions. Keep your cylinder in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high-traffic areas. And remember to secure it in an upright position using a restraint or chain to prevent tipping.
When you're not using your grill, it's essential to turn off the valve on the cylinder and disconnect it from the appliance to prevent gas from escaping. And just to be extra cautious, always check your grill manufacturer's guidance or manual for any specific storage recommendations.
Another important thing to keep in mind is to never run your gas pipework under the grill or any hot zones. This could pose a serious fire hazard and cause damage to both the pipework and your grill.
By taking the time to properly store and handle your gas cylinder and pipework, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable cooking experience.
