Bread

Never thought to cook bread on your grill? Now's the time to start. Prepare a classic bread dough, and preheat your grill to 450°F. Turn it down a little bit (you don't want it too hot, or it will burn the bottom of the bread), then place a cast-iron pot on the grill and let it heat for about 15 minutes with the grill lid closed. Open the lid, toss in a bit of cornmeal, and add the dough to the pot. Close the grill again, and let the bread "bake" for 35-40 minutes. You can start checking for doneness after 30 minutes by inserting an instant-read thermometer, which should come out at 210°F. If it's still not there yet, keep cooking and monitor the temperature every few minutes.
