The NuBilt team wanted to thank everyone who participated in the Walk Like MADD event! The company's goal was to raise $1,000.00 and thanks to all of our generous Walk Supporters, we raised $1,295.00!
 The weather is great and football season is back. These conditions are prime for gathering with friends and cooking out. Before you embark on hosting the best BBQ on the block though, you should review a few essential safety tips when cooking outdoors to keep the good times going.
Before Barbecuing:
- Check your grill thoroughly for leaks, cracking or brittleness before using it.
- Clean out the tubes that lead into the burner.
- Make sure the grill is at least 10 feet away from your house, garage, or trees.
- Store and use your grill on a large flat surface that cannot burn (i.e.- concrete or asphalt).
- Don't use grills in a garage, porch, deck or on top of anything that can catch on fire.
- Keep children away from fires and grills. It is a good idea to establish a safety zone around the grill and instruct children to remain outside the zone. A chalk line works great for this purpose.
- Have a fire extinguisher, a garden hose attached to a water supply, or at least 16-quarts of water close by in case of a fire.
