Hosting a backyard barbecue is a great way to bring family and friends together to enjoy the outdoors. Fresh air, great conversation and the mouthwatering smell of food sizzling on the grill all make the cookout an event to look forward to. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement, but it is important to remember that several precautions must be taken in order to ensure a safe event that doesn't go "up in smoke."
