Learn your grill.. every single one is different. You look like you are doing a good job of moving things around. With your coal setup you will definitely have a hot spot over the coals that falls off around the edges.
Make sure you test your tongs each time you pick them up. Then move the food around whether it needs it or not.. like a katan you can not draw the tongs without using them. Unless it’s burgers then leave them be .. don’t go mashing them and squeezing the life out of them.

There is a large amoung legs on there at once. Im guessing you have the whole grill filled with coals? I would suggest not doing this, because you want a part without coals that the meat can rest on after its cooked. This is especially crutial if you get the coals to hot, because the indirect heat will still cook the meat over time and you won’t over cook it.

Go slow. Too much heat can ruin the experience. From what I see you’re off to a great start! 🤟🏻

Recommend trying to master the easiest stuff first: brats, burgers, and shrimp are all good starters. Feel good with those? Start to experiment with your favorite veggies on the grill next. It’s the obvious accompaniment to grilled meats. I like asparagus, carrots, eggplant, and corn the most but plenty of options. Then move on to chicken breasts, steaks, and wings. Soon you’ll be grilling whole fish and smoking meats for hours in no time like the rest of addicts in here.
Congrats on starting your grilling journey.

A grilling tip for legs and bone-in thighs to get more seasoning and to cut down on cook time.
Lay them on a cutting board, skin down. Insert a sharp paring knife 🔪 , tip first, along the side of the bone 🦴, push down to (but not through) the skin, and slit along the bone from end to end, Repeat on the other side of the bone.
You don’t go through the skin, so the juices remain in place while cooking on the first side.
Season or marinade the pieces, getting your seasoning down in those slits, and let them rest for an hour.
Place on the grill SKIN DOWN first, and while they cook, the juices will collect in the slits and redistribute into the meat. Turn and finish as you would normally.
