Default 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.

I dont have that problem

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.

Never use a gasser, never use Kingsford, never use lighter fluid!

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.

Not to be an a-hole but couldn't you have kept a back-up tank of propane just like you keep a stack of lump now so you dont run out? Just wondering

To Be, or NOT to be, that is the question.

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.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! Dead on to how I feel, brother.

Another No-No is: Thick, white smoke is NOT how you smoke food.
