This will probably arrive too late, but if you make holes with a fork a number of times in said potato, it will cut down the cooking time (gives the steam an outlet).
I know this is too late for you but my favorite thing to do with potatoes is to slice them and put onions in it also and wrap them in foil. This way with the slicing it cooks faster on the grill.
Ok!! I will not try to be a nice person...ok? I will not!!
Well, thanks all for chiming in. I took one potato out too soon and it was undercooked, so I left the other two on longer. My mom said hers was real good, and the third I saved for breakfast this morning and gutted it, chopped it up, added bacon grease and fried it in butter and boy was it good.
Wayward thanks. I was kind of doing that at the end, but I wasn't sure of what I was doing. Squeeze..OUCH..Squeeze...OUCH. Next time I'll take it off the grill and let it cool for a couple minutes. I think
ManofaThousand: I was wondering if I should do that or not! I will do that next time, thanks!
Vickles, That sounds good! I will try that sometime this summer. Thanks!

oh rottie, if you try it I forgot to tell you to try butter and seasonings in it. Yum, Yum!! I'm glad your potatoes turned out good. I love to barbecue.

Ok Vickles thanks,lol.I'm the kind of person who needs to be told every little thing too, lol. I love to barbecue too! I wish I could do it in winter, YUM. In fact, I think I'm going to start a thread, favorite grilling recipes.

Vickles, I do the same thing with my taties, but I add onion soup mix and a little water then wrap in foil. You can do this on the grill or in the oven. Rottie I BBQ all year long too. I live in southern calif.
RG..do you know the song by Little Jimmie Dickens called...Take a Cold Tater An' Wait!
LOL....the last bag of taters I bought had an inscription label that said "Eat five a Day to Keep the Doctor away!
Do you rub yer tater in salad or peanut oil and poke wif' a fork before baking? It helps excellerate baking time. I can make a nice baked tater in about two and a half minutes in the microwave also....send money for secret recipe..please!
Littlehawk NO I don't know about the song take a cold tater and wait. Last time I got hooked on a song I got hooked on margarita's, (uh..can anyone guess what song that was?)
But thanks for the tips! Shall remember them for the future!

Rub a potato with butter and wrap it in foil. Place it on top of your car engine in a spot so it won't rool off, preferably near the exhaust manifold. Drive around for two hours and you will have a perfectly baked potato. :P-->

They take on hour to an hour and a half on the grill.
First rub them with a bit of salad oil.
Then wrap them in foil.
Put them on the grill as soon as the coals are lit - even before they are completely coated with ash, when they are gray around the edges.

You can tell when they are done by squeezing them a little. If they are soft and squeeze easy - they're ready.

So I took a six month vacation. So sue me.

Zshot lol. when I saw you replied to this thread I thought you were going to say you didn't need a grill to cook a potato.
Well I may envy you in the winter, but I sure don't in the summer!
