I've done both the grill and hot coal method. THe hot coal method is too
unpredictable for me. I prefer to just wrap them in foil with a pat of
butter and put them on the grill along the edge (the hottest air is there).
Takes anywhere from 2 to 3 hrs depending on temp and potatoe
The foil keeps them from becoming rubbery (drying out?).
