Grill baking

Click to enlarge.
We enjoy a fresh baked bread from time to time. Sometimes in the summer we like to use our Weber gas grill in place of our oven. Today we bought a take and bake Artisan bread and decided to bake it outside. This is easy and you just need a few things. You'll need a grill capable of 400*, a heavy cast iron skillet or pan, and a smaller grill rack.
Place the skillet over the burner with the grill rack on top. Turn grill 25* past where you need it. Turn down after your bread is in grill. Bake your bread or what-have-you and bake for desired time. Remember, no peeking as when you lift the lid, your temperature goes down fast. 

Foil Fish Packets

We took 6 large Swai fish fillets and placed them on an olive oiled piece of foil. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper, or whatever you like on your fish. A fresh lemon slice would be good here. 
We topped them with fresh green beans, carrots, two butter pats, and folded them tightly on top and one end. Add a couple Tbs of white wine to your packet and seal.
We grilled them on 400* grill for 25 minutes, but you could do in a 425* oven as well. They were remarkably delicious.
