Forgetting to Pre-Heat the Grill
It's easy to forget the grill itself when you are rushing about preparing food for your cookout, but never start grilling before it has had a chance to warm up. Getting the grill to a consistent, even temperature is important not only for getting your cooking times right, but also to ensure good flavor. Fire starters like briquettes and charcoal fluid can impart a strange flavor to meat if its placed on the grill too early, so allow as much time as possible to let the coals burn—at least 10 minutes. If it's a gas or electric grill, wait for it to heat accordingly. Having a properly heated-up grill is the only way to get those lovely grilled marks on your meat and actually improves the cooking by using direct heat rather than radiant heat from the flames.
