@pamelafox Keep it simple and go slow.
Burgers are a good start. Hot Dogs are also good and basically impossible to mess up.
Keep everything close; tongs, a spray bottle of water for flare ups, paper towels and a clean place to land the cooked burgers.
Be patient with the charcoal. Wait until all the charcoal in the chimney is ashed over before dumping it into the grill.
And, don't forget, the grill master must always have a cool beverage in hand and they get first pick of the burgers.
