Do New Charcoal Griil need to be 'Conditions"?

[Huskee]

Welcome, and your assembly sheet, or instruction sheet (user manual) should be in there and it'll say what they recommend, which is essentially what everyone above has said.

Don't you mean mines, plural?

[Soonerpop]

I agree with everyone else. Don’t overthink it. The kettle is very versatile and will do a good job for you.

I didn't get any instructions with my kettle.
I'm still trying to figure out where the hopper is and where to plug in the extension cord.

[bbqLuv]

Did the grill come with instructions? or was that left out? Just wondering.
What they said above.
Welcome from NW Oregon.
Happy grilling to you and PBR too.

If your not very familiar with a Weber kettle I personally would do a "dry run" with a full SnS. This way I can figure out the basic air flow and temp controls along with cleaning it out?
