A barbeque can be the pride of anyone’s backyard, but if propane is selected, certain precautions must be taken to ensure safety. First of all, we recommend having our Charlotte plumbing company install your barbeque, to avoid danger and any costly mistakes.

The key to designing the perfect barbeque is positioning. Food is even more valuable when it’s close to your house and close to a seating area. Positioning your custom barbeque installation 20 yards from your back porch can be unsettling to hungry guests, and unsettling to the person who has to continue to check on the food. Make sure to additionally ensure the stability of your patio – a patio unfit for a heavy barbeque installation could buckle under pressure. Also, make sure the barbecue is situated far from where children may be playing in the future.

A rule of thumb for custom barbecue installation is to never install or place one under a tree or looming plant of any sort; the rising heat can scorch, and even ignite, overlying leaves or branches.

With propane tanks, several factors must be considered. Along with square footage issues, BTUs, elevation, and other things must be carefully examined beforehand. Always play it safe and have a professional Charlotte NC plumber install anything that involves propane.
