Forgetting To Pre-Heat

Getting the grill to a consistent, even heat 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. 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.
