"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 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 it's thing.
