Before you fire up the grill for the game you may want to make sure you don't own one of these gas grills.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling 10,000 gas grills sold at Lowe’s stores between September 2009 and November 2009 because of a burn hazard.

The Master Forge Five-Burner Gas Grills are manufactured by Sagittarius Sporting Goods of China.

The problem with the grills is with the flexible rubber hose on the LP gas tank. It may come into contact with the burner box which can melt the hose while the grill is lit. There have been two complaints of the hose melting or rupturing. No one has been injured.

The grills have the name “Master Forge” on the hood and the model number L3218 located on a label inside the left front door of the grill.

If you bought one of these grills you should stop using it immediately and call the company for a free repair kit at (800) 444-6742 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. and 5

This is similar to a gas grill recall from July 2009 that involved 88,000 Blue Ember gas grills. You can read more about that recall here.
