Place the grill a safe distance away from lawn games, play areas and foot traffic. Grills should be positioned at least 10 feet away from siding, deck railing, and out from overhanging branches. Keep children and pets away from the grill area: declare a three-foot "kid-free zone" around the grill, advises the U.S. Fire Administration.(Photo: The Jersey Journal/Landov)
