Maybe it just takes more experience, but I am also a bit thrown by different conditions - wind blowing, and bbq not getting very hot, or starting with frozen meat cuts. How to compensate for this?
You can't grill frozen meat. Thaw it out.

Timing will come with experience. Thicker cuts will obviously take longer to cook to temp in the centre. A good meat thermometer will be a good tool to figure it out.

Preheat your bbq before grilling anything.

Read and watch, there is a wealth of material out there on grilling.

Oh, and stop buying processed patties that's just gross.
