Wow! Best first post I can remember in quite some time. Welcome aboard, love all the cooks. I learned to do veggies like your eggplant and zucchini on the grill (even though I thought I already knew how) on a trip to Tuscany in 2017. Seeing yours brings back great memories of that trip. We still or cook them the same way almost every week and I don’t imagine changing. So simple but so good! 

Cant wait to see what you come up with next. 

Tuscany is great for learning culinary stuff. Grilled eggplant and zucchini are delicious and simple. I just slice and throw on the grill direct on each side for 2/3 minutes. Then EVO, salt & pepper plus garlic. Many also use chopped parsley.
I find it difficult to get uniform cooking throughout the grill on the EGG, much easier on my gas grill. But I’m still learning 

When you are preheating the egg, close the bottom damper completely after the fire gets going and leave the dome open. That will cause the fire to spread.  Once the fire has spread across the fire bowl , open the bottom vent, close the dome, and adjust temps as needed. 

Looking forward to the inspiration that you will bring to the forum. 

Thank you for this tip. I will try
