Checking the Meat Too Often

Fussing with your grill too much by constantly lifting the lid to check the cooking progress is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Repeatedly lifting the lid causes temperature fluctuations which can lead to unevenly and unpredictably cooked meat. As a rule of thumb, opening the lid on a gas grill will make it cooler, while on a charcoal grill it will actually increase the heat as more oxygen gets to the flames. Quit fussing, trust the barbecue, and let the heat do its thing.
