That's another reason I like a natural gas grill. Same gas used, but
the heat is outside in summer. I often make extras but they are never
as good as that right from the oven crispy skin potato.

Of course you can do it on other grills, but this way, no tanks to
change, no charcoal to light.

Come January I'll use the oven more as we do need some heat then.
