You could do worse then having a cold one and reading through the Hot and Fast topics, then follow up on some of the posts with any questions you might then have.

You could always try deep frying everything! No joe, I saw this on man vs food - they would smoke wings, then deep fry them!

On DDD a BBQ restaurant dep fried smoked chicken halves, but I'm not sure that's what lyncameron is after (yet ;) )
Which BBQ did you get and do you have any pictures of it?

A big welcome to the forum Lynn,

The members on this site cover the whole BBQ knowledge spectrum from absolute beginners to championship winners.

I hope that like me, you'll ask plenty of questions and start gathering all this never ending, invaluable knowledge.

Welcome to the forum. Next time if you want to put some smoke flavour in the burgers?
Get a A4 sheet of foil and place some soaked wood chips, wrap it up and prick a couple of holes in it. Place it on the hot grill and a couple of minutes later a nice aroma of smoke.

Welcome mate, good to see another Scot on here.

You'll soon find yourself wanting to do beer can chicken, brisket and pulled pork.

First welcome to the forum,as has been said there is a weaith of knowledge here.
Secondly (i`m hoping your grill has more than one burner)set up with two heat zones.
one high for searing the other low for cooking.start your steaks/chops or anything else on the hot zone then put them in the cooler zone to cook.Found this worked for me when i grilled guess gas isnot much different from charcoal in practice.
