Burnsville, MN, USA -- UglyDeck.com, a Minneapolis deck builder, knows that fall is a popular time for people to grill on their decks. With the football season starting, it's a prime time for people to host get-togethers and grill. To best preserve a deck, and more importantly, to keep everyone safe, it's important to review some helpful tips from the National Fire Protection Association to stay safe while grilling on the deck this football season.

• Make sure to keep the grill away from your home, as well as deck railings and overhanging branches. It's important to keep the grill clear of overhanging branches in case of a flare-up. Also make sure that the grill is in an open space, away from any overhangs, since carbon monoxide could accumulate.
• While the grill is on, make sure to keep children and pets away from the grilling area.
• Don't ever try to move a hot grill.
• Never leave a grill unattended. This is important not only to keep from overcooking brats and burgers, but it's also important so that children and pets are kept at a safe distance and to keep an eye out for flare-ups.
• Clean the grill thoroughly after each use by removing grease buildup from the grill and tray below the grill.
