Awesome 😀 Welcome to the brotherhood. When you get it setup, wash the grates, then light a hot fire to burn off any of the grease/oil/residue left from manufacturing/shipping. Use a charcoal Chimney, I recommend this one: https://a.co/d/0ixy7Ggz Use fatwood to start the fire - not chemicals: https://a.co/d/04YKkXBa Use BnB Charcoal - briquettes or lump: Best price is at WM or Academy Sports $9.99 a bag for 17.6 lbs. Use oak or Hickory mini logs that you've split 2-4 times to add more smoke flavor to your grills OR to use when you're smoking. Use long well built tongs. I added Amazon links for convenience but you can find any of it just about anywhere.
