If you didn’t realize it already because you’re busy living your life, Monday is Memorial Day. It’s the holiday where we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice while fighting for our freedom. While we celebrate all the fallen heroes, many of us also mark the day as the unofficial start of summer (this is even though the actual start of summer isn’t until the end of June). It’s also the beginning of grilling season.

If you’re anything like us, this means you spend May through October standing behind a grill slowly turning all manner of grilled meats and veggies. We’re talking about steaks, sausages, burgers, hot dogs, grilled pineapple, artichokes, zucchini, and a whole lot more.

But while there are things we love to grill, there are also many things (mostly non-food items) that definitely don’t belong on a grill (especially on Memorial Day). Given how much alcohol one tends to consume while celebrating the kick-off of summer, you never know what you might throw on the grill by mistake. That’s why we thought the time was right to highlight some of the worst things you could possibly grill. Keep reading and take a few notes so you don’t set fire to one of these items when all you meant to do was cook a hot dog.
