What are your BBQ/cooking pet peeves?

[T.Mac]

We all have them, so what are yours?

My biggest one is people blindly adding salt and pepper to food someone else has prepared without even tasting it first. :tsk:

 

[mattmountz94]

Throwing a burger on the grill and pressing it down with a spatula

 

[mattmountz94]

Covering your grates with foil before you cook

 

[SmittyJonz]

People buying offsets then trying to run on charcoal then crying...........

 

[steelarz47]

running out of beer!

 

[Inthewoods]

Anybody who asks for ice in their whiskey...
-D

 

[Nvoges]

I normally say let bygons be bygons but mattmountz94 is spot on!

 

[Fwismoker]

Covering your grates with foil before you cook

OMG, that's my Dad!

 

[Fwismoker]

Probably my biggest is my buddy that i turned on to bbq still dumps bbq sauce all over the pulled pork.

 

[pjtexas1]

Cross contamination. dirty disgusting grates...they don't need to sparkle but at least scrape off the remnants from cooks from 5 years ago. :heh:

 

[Teleking]

Remote thermometers and people with high expectations that they work.

 

[Stlsportster]

Wait, you mean you aren't supposed to boil those ribs before you put them on the grill??

 

[wormy]

Cooking brats or sausages and taking a fork and poking holes in them:tsk:

 

[JDM46]

Techies that want the latest and greatest to do the cooking for them.:doh:

 

[jham0077]

Everything listed here plus people that don't season before or while they're cooking and mediocre food that people think is yummy.

Well, except maybe the ice in whiskey thing. But only in an emergency. It's best to just keep it cold.

 

[Free Mr. Tony]

People wanting me to cook for them, and insisting on bringing me the meat to cook. Nice gesture that I understand, but if I'm cooking it I like to pick it out. They inevitably get the opposite of what I'm looking for, and many times not even the right cut.

I keep the "Wild Turkey 101" in the freezer...you know...in case of emergency! :bow:

 

[IamMadMan]

Those who have to cut a steak open to see if it's medium-rare/medium (over-cooked) but can't grasp the concept of telling if it's done just by touch...

Be the cook, not the butcher...

 

[peeps]

Good whiskey don't need to be cold!

Folks that always ask me how long such and such cut needs to cook...how big? what temp are ya cookin'? Either way, it's done when it's done, just like the last 50 times I told ya!

 

[4ever3]

People that type "brisky" instead of brisket... It's ONE MORE KEY STROKE !!!

There... I said it...
