Why gas barbecues be operated in enclosed spaces?

Here's why:

* Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Gas barbecues produce carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, and deadly gas. In an enclosed space, CO can build up rapidly, leading to poisoning and even death.

* Fire Hazard: The heat and flames from a gas barbecue can ignite flammable materials in a confined area, creating a serious fire hazard.

* Explosion Risk: Gas leaks can occur, and in a closed space, they can create an explosive mixture.

* Lack of Ventilation: Enclosed spaces lack proper ventilation, which is essential for carrying away combustion byproducts and ensuring safe operation of a gas barbecue.

Always operate gas barbecues in a well-ventilated outdoor area, at least 10 feet away from any structures or flammable materials.

Never use a gas barbecue indoors, in a garage, or on a balcony.
