I have never cooked them and would appreciate some pointers. What about marinating and seasoning as well as what kind a fire do I need. Thanks and I look forward to y'all comments.

I like to use Allegro original marinade. Put my steak in a ziploc bag with sliced onion and bell peppers some garlic cloves 4 to 8 oz. Of Allegro and the juice of 1/2 lime. Marinade it overnight. I sear it over high heat 450- 500 degrees about 2-3 minutes. We like it rare and thinly sliced.
Hope this helps, keep on grillingFort Wayne Indiana -
Make sure you slice against the grain and thinner slices.I like a lime based Mexican flavored marinade but you could do a sweeter Asian style as well.Grill hot and fastGreensboro, NC

Look now further than this post:
https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/09/carne-asada-food-lab-recipe-kenji.html
The keys:
1. use outside skirt if you can
2. flatten the steaks out to a consistent thickness
3. marinade 3-6 hours
4. cook super hot and fast > 600F
5. cook to medium rare - medium
6. slice against the grain

Personally, I would not recommend putting any type of steak into salt or acid (Vinegar, Citrus juice)overnight, unless you want to cure it.
For skirt I like to use:
2 Large Jalapeno (remove seeds if you want less spice)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1oz Dijon mustard
1T Chili powder
Puree above in a food processor (I use a small processor)
Slowly add 1/2C olive oil while running the processor
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Put cleaned skirt into ziplock and cover with marinate.
Store for a couple of hours in fridge.
