shaundakahl's Question:
I make a damn good bbq sauce that I usually rub on the tops of the burgers in the last five minutes of cooking. But I was wondering if it would be better to mix it in with the actual burger. Would that burn it? Any chefs out there know the pros and cons for both?

Rub it on the last 3 minutes. BBQ sauces have sugar in them. Sugar BURNS over an open flame. I like to taste BBQ sauce, not charcoal and ash remnants.
