Here is my 2025 grill that i will be restoring, Genesis 1

Do you guys eat the peeling? To me that is the best part of a baked potato. I imagine putting on the coals would not be good for the peeling.

Yes! Last time I did them I poked holes and microwaved them for 7 minutes. Sprayed with spray butter, and coarse salted them. Wrapped in foil and put them on the warming rack of my 330 for about 25. Skin was so good. Wife didn’t eat her skin… so I did. Was nearly perfect.

You would be surprised how fast they will cook in a gas grill. You are probably cooking longer than you should. They are supposed to be cooked until they hit 205 internal temp. But a lot of people cook them much longer. I usually cook them on a warming rack at about 350-400 ambient temp. If you like the skin a bit "crunchier, you can put them on the regular grates for a while.

I never wrap taters. I nuke them on the tater setting in the Panasonic M/Wave. Then toss with EVOO, S&P and thyme. Roast until crispy skin on the grill. Perfect every time

Am I the only one who uses the warming rack?

Nope, I use mine all the time. I don't really use the swinging basket even for potatoes because those usually take so much longer to cook than whatever else I have on the grill. When I restore a grill I do like to replace both of them just for originality.

Yup, I do the same.
I see a person can buy a stainless steel swinging basket for the lid.
Not that I will ever see the advantages of stainless anyway

 

[Bruce]

Not on your keeper grills, but you will definitely see the advantages if you put one in your daily driver.

I dreamt of grills last night

Oh Oh,
