Charcoal Chart
Where to start? Wash your hands is always a good place to begin. Now what are you going to cook and how? Most Scout cooking is done over charcoal (Kingsford)! The main thing you need to know is how much to use. The chart below will give you a good place to start. Enjoy and good luck.
