If the end result tastes bad, or over/under cooked, the relaxation ends. Grilling/smoking meat seems like an easygoing activity, creating delicious barbecue can actually be very challenging. It takes preparation, time, and some "insider" knowledge.  As the latest in a series of vital barbecue tips, we at Oren International are here to help by providing a list of four common mistakes grill and smoker amateurs make in pursuit of finger-licking good BBQ. In this post you will learn expert tips to help you:  - **Understand and perfect barbecue timing.** Good barbecue takes time, and it's important to know how long to heat the grill before putting on the meat. - **Determine how much meat to use on the grill**. Instead of packing the grill with meat, find out the best strategy for arranging meat according to the heat source you are using. - **Properly use flues and dampers.** Understanding these vital parts of the grill is a must. When using a smoker as regulation of the intake and exhaust vents will have a direct impact on the type of smoke created and the level of smoke flavor infused into the meat. - **Use the right tools.** You can easily improve the flavor of everything you cook by selecting the right tools that won't poke or disrupt meat on the grill.
