And of course, this doesn't apply to sausage. But for the first six times or so, just use good meat, salt and pepper. Get to know your meat before you start globbing on the sugary crap you think you should be dousing your food in. You should also prepare your meat before you just dump it onto the grill. Chicken should be trimmed a bit.
Steaks are okay pretty much the way they are and so are sausages.
Once you get used to your fuel and your meat, then you can start looking for recipes that make sense. Like sauces and rubs. When you are done, Mr. Biggles will inspect your skills. Cook it over the fire, use those tongs and cook it until it is done. When you bring your meat out, just dump it on the grill and get it going.
