While each tip can mostly stand alone, it is best to read them all and incorporate them into an overall assault on the grill. Be sure to have your assault well fortified with your favorite beverage! Today's tip is: Basting the meat

When using a dry rub during barbecuing, always allow the meat to cook for approximately 1/3rd to 1/2 of the total time before applying any basting sauce. This cooking time will allow the meat to become warm and start absorbing the dry rub seasonings. It also allows the dry rub to adhere to the meat securely. If you begin to baste too early you will be defeating your process by "washing off" the dry rub seasonings. After this time, you may baste as frequently as you wish (but probably not more often than every 20 minutes).
Enjoy!
