The most important thing remember is to keep your grill far away from other structures, such as your house or garage, which could ignite. Although it is convenient to grill your guests there on your deck or patio, it's not a good idea. If there will be children in your grill, consider drawing a circle 10 feet in chalk around the grill and make a strict prohibited area for children under 12.
It makes sense to ensure that your grill is always in the best shape possible. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has a safety checklist for all grill owners, gas or charcoal, to make sure your grill does not pose hidden dangers. The National Fire Protection Agency has two useful short videos on gas grill safety.
Once you are sure your grill is in good working condition and safely located away from home, it's time to think about what to serve. Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot, and never use the same plate for raw meats and cooked as the Department of US Health reminds us in this list grilling recommendations on food security .

Precooking slightly can help, as can marinating, a trick that is not only safer, but delicious.
