I love cooking stuff in foil on the BBQ. Tonight I made taters Dianne ala rusty.
SLice up taters thin, 1/16 to 1/8 try to keep them in a stack. Fan them out like a deck of cards on a piece of foil big enough to hold all the taters and make a sealed package. Add some olive oil, salt & pepper, and parmesan cheese. Seal the package up and put it on the top rack of the grill. Cooking time will vary depending on how thin you spread the taters, which is nice because you can adjust the dish to match cooking time with the main course.

Anybody else got any foil package cooking tips?

Cheese melt sandwiches "a-la-engine"
Make a sandwich, seal the foil package up and put it on the top of your engine. Drive for a few minutes. :cheers:
 
yup, tastes better done on the exhaust manifold. And you don't even need to add oil if it's a Land Rover... :D
 
Sliced wedges of fleshy fruit (apricot, plum, peach, pear, apple, etc) <== those happen to be in order of my preference....
1 or 2 pats of butter
heavy sprinkle of brown sugar
splash of brandy or rum

approx 20 minutes on grill - engine block - exhaust manifold

dump in dish and add scoop of vanilla ice cream
 
Mix 2 chopped garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of honey, a dash soy sauce and 1/4 of orange juice.
Spread it over a salmon filet and cook covered in foil on low heat on the grill for 20 min.

It's fast, delicious and not a lot of cleaning up to do after.

We used to make hobo pouches when i used go camping with the guys at one of my old jobs.
Hobo pouch ingredients: Sliced potatos, diced up brats or sausage, a couple of jalapenos and some onion wedges, add some butter and seal up the foil paper, i would make 5-10 of these put them in a zip lock and store in the cooler until you are ready for a snack. toss it in the camp fire and check about 10 minutes after you start hearing the sizzling, it probably wont be done yet but you dont want to burn it, so check periodically.
 
Fresh beets drizzled w/ olive oil, salt and pepper, wrapped in foil. Takes about 45 min. on med/hi heat on a gas grill.
 
Slice up summer squash and onions, toss with Olive oil, S&P, garlic powder and dried herbs of choice. Do the foil wrap thing. This takes about the same amount of time as a 3/4" to 1" steak to cook.

When I was a kid in Oregon we did this one when we were trout fishing.

Catch and clean a trout. Build a small fire with alder twigs and branches, while it burns down to coals stuff the inside of the trout with wood sorrel and wild onions. Wrap the fish in foil, bury it in the coals. Cover the whole pile with gravel.

Catch some more fish.

When lunch time rolls around dig up the pouches. Great with a hand full of huckle berries.

That's a nice one, Alvaro. Once it's done, add some toasted sesame seeds to top it off!

I was standing in the snow grilling last night, why would you need to wait for summer?

We take shrimp/salsa/blackbeans/cheese/homemade roasted peppers - wrap 'em up in a flour tortilla - add foil and place on my Helton water heater - approx. 20 mins and you feel like you have stepped back in time in Baja
