Improper ventilation. Applying sauce too early. Too much lighter fluid. Propane exploded. Unevenly cooked (burnt outside while raw inside).

 

  What are some barbecuing mishaps you’ve personally experienced, either as the chef or as an attendee?

    Bad charcoal. It was two years old and wouldn't light using a chimney. It probably absorbed moisture from the air.

    I never had a mishap until I bought a gas grill.  I burned everything on it.  After using it several times I pulled the innards out of it, put a cookie sheet on the bottom covered with foil, and added charcoal.  I used it like that for years and never burned another thing.
