Avoid the Sugars - Tip

Avoid the Sugars

Sugars:  White sugar, brown sugar, honey, syrups, jellies and many more.  Sugars have a very low burning point and cooking over an open fire simply spells trouble for sugars.  Some people will use sugar very sparingly with their dry rubs when barbecuing - not over direct heat -  to help caramelize the outer crust of the meat for appearance.  It is not enough to give it a burned taste.  If you really love some sweetness with the meat, use your sugars to make a glaze and add that AFTER you have removed the meat from the grill.  All the wonderful flavors will be present without the burned taste.
