What's your number one bbq / grilling no no?
My number one no no is grilling boneless skinless chicken breasts or pork chops without brining them first. This is a sure fire way to get chewy, dried out meat. What's your major no no.

I never put the chicken over the fire for the grill marks until they are just about perfect for coming off the grill.

Grilling without a beer in hand is my primary no no.

you need to use the indirect method I go with lighting the fire with a buzz on One time I fell on my charcoal chimney when it was hot that was not good LOL Once it cooled off I was able to bend it back in shape. Luckily I was wearing long pants and not shorts

Relying solely upon a "guru" system to do all the work of Q'ing is my no-no. Nothing against any of the guys that do, of course!
Just personally wouldn't use one for my Q'ing.

Twenty years ago propane could be gotten only through a distributor not at every grocery store. More than once right in the middle of cooking I ran out and these weren't operations open on a Sunday afternoon. Now I use lump and keep a stack of bags in the garage.

When making beer and bourbon chili in a cast iron dutch oven on a charcoal grill, ADD THE BOURBON LAST.
While the huge fire ball looks cool from a distance, it will scare the crap out of you when you are standing inches from the grill. Just another thing in life I had to learn the hard way.
