Educational purposes only
The articles, guides, comparisons, recommendations, FAQs, and any other content published on Grills Griddles Smokers are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this site is professional, legal, medical, engineering, or installation advice, and nothing constitutes an offer of service. The site is intended for residential homeowners exercising their own judgment about their own equipment.
Outdoor cooking is inherently hazardous
Gas grills, charcoal grills, smokers, pellet cookers, and griddles operate at high temperatures, use flammable fuels and — in the case of gas equipment — pressurized fuel lines and ignition systems. Improper assembly, cleaning, modification, repair, or operation can result in fires, explosions, carbon monoxide exposure, severe burns, property damage, serious injury, or death.
Always follow your manufacturer's instructions
Your equipment's owner's manual is the authoritative source for safe operation, cleaning, and maintenance of your specific cooker. If anything on this site appears to conflict with your manufacturer's instructions, follow the manufacturer. Cleaning, repairing, modifying, or operating your equipment in a manner the manufacturer does not authorize may void your warranty, damage the equipment, and create unsafe conditions for you, your family, and your property.
When to call a trained professional
We always recommend engaging a qualified, licensed, trained professional for tasks that exceed routine homeowner maintenance — including but not limited to:
- Anything involving gas lines, regulators, or fuel connections
- Electrical, igniter, or control-board repairs
- Structural welding, frame repair, or firebox replacement
- Built-in, outdoor-kitchen, or commercial-grade equipment
- Recall remediation or warranty work
- Any situation where you are uncertain, working without the manual, or unable to safely complete the task

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Grills Griddles Smokers, its authors, contributors, owners, and operators shall not be liable for any injury, illness, death, fire, smoke damage, property damage, equipment damage, voided warranty, lost data, lost profits, or any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of this site, your reliance on any content found here, or your inability to access this site — whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damage.

Emergency situations
This site is not an emergency resource. If you smell gas, see flame outside of your cooker's firebox, observe a runaway grease fire, suspect carbon-monoxide exposure, or otherwise face an unsafe condition, leave the area immediately, shut off the fuel supply if it is safe to do so, and contact your local fire department or gas utility. If you or someone else has been injured, seek medical care first.
