Almost forgot....before you wrap that half onion in foil to drop in the coals use it clean the grill grates!!! Cut side down, use some tongs and scrub the grates!!!'

No, you don't eat it. You just wrap it in foil, poke holes in the foil, drop it on the coals, and it gives of this awesome aroma, sort of infuses the food with that onion flavor, albeit mild nothing overwhelming. So use the onion to clean the grill, then why waste it, wrap it and let it do it's thing. 98 your are much more knowledgeable than I am, but it also sort of makes the grill a bit non-stick if you will, I'm guessing the onion has oils in it or something,and when you basically use it as a scouring pad, that rends the grill somewhat non-stick, make sense?
Do you peel the onion? So just cut an onion in half, save half for something else and use half to clean the grill, then wrap in foil, poke a bunch of holes in the foil, and throw it in the coals?MarylandAG said:
For what it's worth I clean my grill when it's hot, so I just cut the onion in half and use either a long pair of tongs or the fork from a bbq tool set (it's real only useful purpose ) to "scour" the grill surface, then I wrap, poke, and toss in the coals
I'm 50 so grew up in the 70's-80's, I have early memories of my dad using a paper grocery bag (obviously before plastic bags became common place), he use to clean it when the mesquite logs were just dying down, hardcore, old school, haha. Good memories but yeah the onion "scour pad" is an upgrade over the paper bag.
