Grilling is pretty safe these days but some things can still go snafu.
Squirrel Spring comes in handy to keep the peace around the barbecue.
Here are some common problems that the Squirrel Spring tames:

Brushtech's Squirrel Spring L.P. Hose Guard can eliminate hose damage due to rodent bites, and most situations of melting due to contact with high surface temperatures on the exterior of a barbeque grill fire box.

Hot metal grill surfaces can all to easily come in contact with your rubber bbq grill hose, and rubber melts easily when it is in contact with grill temperatures in a short time. Grill hoses should not melt normally, if everything is installed properly. If a propane tank is not properly positioned properly or if the assembly or routing of the hose is not set up according to the barbecue grill manufacturers design specification then there can be trouble. Hose contact with hot grill surfaces is a common problem - just ask any fireman! We know you wouldn’t melt your hose but think tenants and teens – a squirrel spring is cheap insurance.

Now this is where Squirrel Spring gets its name - Squirrels LOVE to chew on the nice barbeque flavored rubber gas line hose to your grill! We believe it is considered wonderful dental hygiene in the Squirrel world.

When grease drips on rubber barbeque grill fuel hose, it becomes a treat for the bushy tailed rodents. The furry tree acrobats are especially pleased to find some nice bbq flavored rubber to gnaw on. Squirrels with their chisel teeth can exert 24,000 lbs. of pressure per square inch.  They can rip into a bbq grill’s rubber hose and render it useless in a very short time and necessitate costly replacement. The next time someone goes to light the grill they will often ignite the grill burner and the ruptured propane line – possibly causing a fire – ask any fireman. Squirrels can be a problem. Brushtech's Squirrel Spring - L.P. Hose Guard is specially designed to protect against this and other hazards. The Squirrel Spring stretches and compresses so it will fit all normal sizes gas grill hoses between 12" and 26" long. For longer hoses use two or more guards.

Squirrel Spring also helps to prevents kinking of the gas fuel hose of a barbecue grill.
