Weber Portable Grill

First time griller w/ a charcoal Smokey Joe Weber Grill… Help!?

I have never grilled before, and now I’m very tempted to try my hand at it. I don’t have much space (1 bdrm apt) and will have to grill outside our apartment building, so I want to buy a Weber Smokey Joe portable grill. My question isn’t about the grill, but how to safely light, maintain, and dispose of charcoal as I use my grill. Anyone have any tips, tricks, or simple directions?

Experienced Smokey Joe users are especially encouraged to answer!!!

Thanks!!! :)

line bottom with heavy duty foil
add charcoal
sprinkle with lighter fluid even if its “built in”
throw matches in until it lights
let coals burn until they turn white
spary grill rack with cooking spray or oil & put grill rack on.
cook your food
when coal “die”…stop smoking..let cool then pick it all up in foil and throw away
