Hi Brian, welcome to the forum!  I think a fair few of us have joined this site to shrug off the "couch potato" reputation, so you're not alone :)  Take a look at the "Brandy and BBQ (http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1911)" thread, might be a good one to get you started and should be ideal for a 10 year old.
