If you begin cooking too quickly, you run the risk of your food tasting a bit like lighter fluid. You will want to be sure to wait at least 15 minutes before beginning. A good rule of thumb is to allow the charcoal to turn completely gray before beginning. This will ensure all of the lighter fluid is burned off.
