For coal:

1) find some newspaper and crumple it up
2) stuff in the paper
3) get the charcoal and pour it in, getting black all over.
4) find the matches, light the paper
5) light the paper again, add more paper as needed
6) wait 20-30 minutes, pour into cleaned tray
7) if not enough heat, repeat steps 1-6
8) blow on coals to make them burn even
9) put on meat
10) if heat going out, repeat 1-6

For gas:

1) turn knob
2) press button
3) put meat on

Gee, let me see? GAS!

Now, for those who need the extra flavor, wood chips work great! Also, the flavorings you add to the meat make so much more of a difference than gas or coal. Also, the gas is better for the environment.
