Buy a meat thermometer and use it, at least until you start to figure things out. You’ll never overcook or undercook anything again.
Even if you are a pro, you should check your chicken with a good instant read thermometer. You don't want to overcook or undercook chicken breasts.

Absolutely this. But even with experience, there's no substitute for a meat thermometer IMO.

I agree. I’m 34 and have been grilling for 10-12 years and I still use one when I grill steaks, as well as when I smoke whole chickens, tri-tips, briskets, whatever... like I said, with a good meat thermometer, you’ll never undercook or overcook anything again.

Burgers, chicken thighs (boneless or bone in) hotdogs for starters
Most important have fun

I would never close the top vent completely while cooking. You will either suffocate the fire and extinguish it, or it'll put out an acrid taste onto whatever you're cooking. The smoke needs a way to escape.
Well this is an old Weber kettle. The top isn’t super tight and smoke gets out. And it isn’t completely closed off but pretty close. I usually see a thin wisp of smoke coming out of the top vent

I’ve given a few copies of Steven Raichlen’s How to Grill cookbooks as presents to college kids moving out on their own. It is straightforward, loaded with photos, and covers more than just the meat basics. Good info on building a fire and various cooking methods and grill types. LINK
