Cut veggies into large sizes. This makes it easier to work with them and not have them fall through the grate.
Put small items onto skewers. Items like shrimp just won’t work on the grill without a skewer.
If you’re making chicken or other meats low in fat, brush the grilling surface with some oil first.
Make bigger fires. Charcoal is surprisingly difficult to light without lighter fluid. Do it right the first time and make a big-ass fire. Put some newspaper under the coals.
