I just got my first Weber grill. Any tips for breaking it in would be greatly appreciated.

Just fire it up! Nice grill BTW

You will love it. You can slow cook, indirect cook, smoke, and high heat...just about anything a guy needs. I would cook something like chicken or burgers the first time or two just to get the feel of it

That's a beauty!  Fire it up and enjoy.

If you haven't done so I'd light a full chimney and fill those new baskets up. This will burn off the "factory" and give you a chance to play with the vents. Start wide open, then go to half then 1/4. You'll see the temp change and get a feel for how it cooks. Then get cooking. Welcome aboard!

Hello and welcome! Beautiful kettle.  Fire up a half full chimney of charcoal without any food to burn in first. Or full chimney... let it heat up for 30-45 min before cooking. Have both vents wide open for that initial burn in to get rid of manufacturing oil and other impurities inside and oil/clean the cooking grate before using.
