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.

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

Not letting Redhot cook the boneless skinless chicken breasts for me.:biggrin1:
 
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.

Or was it???? :D
 
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.
 
My number one "No-NO" is not having fun while you are grilling or smoking. I would say the beer, but that is mainly a primary operational requirement.
 
Lube the grate. My chicken loves to stick to my grill it is so awesome in there.

Never brine either one, don't foil either. So I guess I never rely on on them.
 
Matchlight!

Also, I never soak wood chips/chunks. For the life of me, I cant figure out why just about everyone on TV insists on doing that?
 
Just because the BigSteelKeg is light, on rollers and is portable doesn't mean you should smoke a pork shoulder inside the house.
I won't ever do that again.
Why didn't one of you farkers mention that in the millions of threads?:mad::tsk:
