- Do not use your hands to pick up your hot dogs. Tongs are strongly recommended for this job, or maybe even a fork. Trust me, you do not want to get burned.
- Make sure your grill is turned off completely, and that the flow of gas is stopped completely if you're using a gas grill. If you're using a charcoal grill, make sure your fire is put out completely, and no hot embers remain.
- Keep your grill away from any flammable objects such as wooden chairs or gas containers.
