Yes, it is completely safe or oil the hinges of a BBQ lid.

The best practice in this case is to use something like WD40 or a lubricant oil that comes with an applicator straw. ex. http://www.wd40.com/products/smart-straw/

This will stop oil being sprayed on the grill and any unnecessary parts. Once you have oiled the BBQ lid hinges, operate the lid a few times to move the oil right into the joints and allow 24 hours for any fumes to dissipate.

Maybe your the right person to ask - is it safe to oil the hinges of the barbecue lid?

I appreciate your help. Thanks
