What do you always undercook or overcook? Me...I'll admit my fault.. chicken. Its either undercooked or incinerated. Yet every dang thing else I throw on the grill I cook perfectly. LOL.

It’s all about time. Some things can’t be rushed if you are gonna do them right.

You try to crank the heat up and finish it quicker, you’ll burn the outside and the inside won’t be done right.

The key is to know your meat. Know your pit. And you work within those confines. You are the pit MASTER. You master your pit or it will master you. If they guests get impatient, frick them, That’s why you have appetizers.

You are in control. Outside temp, inside temp, amount of smoke...everything.

It’s done when it is done right.

invest in a good bluetooth probe or poking stick (thermometer)

rub mayo over the chicken before you sprinkle your rub. it shields it from overcooking and locks in the juice.

Ribs. I’ve tried several times to cook ribs on the grill and they just don’t come out tender and juicy. I bake those in the oven slow and low and they come out fricking fantastic

Beer. When l crank the grill up, I start slamming beers. Shits either overcooked or undercooked, but the sausage is always just right.

Kids are still alive, so l got that going for me.

Chicken is tough. Get yourself a BBQ thermometer for Chicken. When it hits the right temp pull it off. Perfect moist juicy cooked chicken every time...

I just can’t cook a brisket. I’ve tried. I can never get it right. It’s either too cooked or not cooked enough and tough as hell.

Chicken is DONE at 165 internal temp. Get a meat probe and remove the bird at 165. Boneless breasts don’t take long to get to 165. Most people think it needs to cook longer and it dries out.

A chicken breast cooked to 165 is moist, tender, and divine.

I get to socializing and relaxing and over cook.

I have an egg so sometimes I like cold beer better than food.

I found if I get a moisturizer or sauce and keep daucing the pork or chicken it helps.

The big green egg is the answer to almost every grilling problem. It’s hard to screw up and chicken comes out juicy and tasty. There is a great online community for recipes, techniques and accessories to get anything cooked right.

The key is controlling your temperature. Use a thermapen for reading meat temps instantly and also get maverick thermometer for long cooks. Ribs turn out delicious cooked low temp but a lengthy process.

Other than chicken wings, I too struggle with chicken, especially bonesless breasts. I've pretty much stopped doing bonesless breasts and do bonesless thighs now. Way more room for error with those.

With chicken I've learned to abandon those behemoth steroid chicken breasts. Small breasts and leg quarters are much easier and much tastier in my opinion.

I know I'll get shite but sous vide and grilling at very high temperature is great way to cook chicken if you're not smoking it.

Beef ribs. What I find around here is so inconsistent. I have murdered them-I have eaten them red.
