Prepare all the food for the grill in advance. That way you don't have to run back and forth for things as you're cooking.

If you're grilling steaks, let them stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to take the chill off. Very cold steaks take longer to cook and increase the chance of burning or drying out. One of my favorite, simple ways to get a tasty steak is to pat it with a little butter and then some fresh ground black pepper. The outside sears nicely and the inside is tender and juicy!

But maybe the most important thing about grilling is to do it safely! No kids near the grill, no charcoal lighter after the fire is started. And then the last piece of advice....make sure you have enough propane or charcoal! Running to the store in the middle of cooking is sure to spoil the day. Trust me, I've done it. You might want to invest in a propane tank gas gauge and save that trauma.
