Now if you were looking for more traditional approaches to making the most of your Labor Day barbecue...

1. Keep the meat fresh, cook it within an hour of exposing it to room temperature.
   You don't want anyone to get sick, do you?
2. Rub the grill with oil to prevent sticking.
   
3. Marinade the meat to tenderize it.
   
4. Baste the meat during the barbecue with the marinade if the sugar content is minimal, otherwise you will get burnt food.
   
5. Use tongs of spatula to turn the meat.
   
6. Do not pierce the meat with a fork.
   If you do the juices will drain out making the meat dry inside and not too tasty.
   
7. Do not add salt to the meat while it is cooking, unless you like eating tough meat.
