Re: Grilling
I hope my last post didn't come off harsh, because it wasn't intended as so. When you're starting out, avoid chicken (other than Raichlen's beer can recipe)because chicken must be cooked through, and until you have your heat control down, it can be difficult. You can burn the outside and have it raw inside.
While your starting, a good move is to get something like a boneless chuck steak (sliced thin), salt and pepper both sides, then take a plate or dish, and pour in a bunch of olive oil. Before you put the steaks on, coat it with the oil from the dish, when it's time to flip, run the steak through the dish again, and put the other side down. The oil will stop the steak from scorching, and you can get your technique down without dropping the $$ on the higher-end cuts.
Pork Tenderloin is another good candidate for the grill. A lot of times I like to marinate it in vinegar and hot sauce and then throw it on the grill. Comes great so many times.
