Need Grilling Tips

[motoeric]

Hey,

I need your best introductory grilling tips for inclusion in an article in a newspaper.

Here are some of the areas that I thought should be covered:

Importance of cleaning your equipment
Where to find replacement parts
Indirect vs. direct
Fuel choice
Keeping a second full propane tank on hand
When to apply sauce
Marinating
How to tell when an item is done
How to cook for a crowd on one grill
Using proper tools (tongs, spatulas, cutting boards)
Setting up an outdoor table as a workstation
Using a charcoal chimney

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Let's not get carried away here.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

The conversation lasted for over an hour, so we will see how much is used. I'm sure that the Brethren will be highlighted.
