Chimney starter is a must. No lighter fluid.
Steaks go over the coals early while the temp is high.
Pork Chops and Chicken and possibly even burgers (beef or pork) wait a few minutes until the temp drops a bit. For the burgers, lightly butter the buns and toast over the coals after the burgers are done. It only takes a couple of minutes to do the buns. You might want to close the vents (at least on top) when toasting the buns.
If for some reason the coals flare up into a fire (usually from excess fat on the meat), move the meat from over the flames if necessary until the flames die out. Sometimes closing the vents will take care of the flames.
Hot Dogs and Brats wait until the coals are closer to the end of their life than the beginning so the "skins" don't split.
