I use a charcoal grill or smoker or ugly drum smoker Ill never use gas. Where would I get a cast iron grill?

I have a Primo Oval XL and a Primo Oval JR. I went through charcoal and gas, but the Komado style cookers with lump charcoal is what has been the best for me. Depending on the veggies, I either cook them direct in a grill wok for small pieces, or direct for larger pieces and finish indirect if needed.

For those of you who are not in waterlogged parts of the country, summer is firmly here and it's time to take cooking outside.  Recently I've been playing with grilling vegetables on the gas grill along with meat/fish/chicken.  

So far I've grilled:
  • Sliced sweet potatoes, lightly salted and peppered with a brush of olive oil (quick cooking and delicious).
  • Grilled slices of onion (Vidalia, White Onion, Bermuda) - again delicious.
  • Sliced Zucchini, again lightly brushed with olive oil and lightly salted and peppered.

I'm curious what other folks are doing with vegetables (or fruit) on the grill?

What you mentioned plus

Carrots
Peppers
Mushrooms
Eggplant
Olives

The olives (canned, not fresh) have to placed in a pot.

I love grilling veggies. They always seem to taste great when grilled.

One quick and easy thing I like to do is toss some coarsely-chopped onion, peppers, potatoes, carrots etc with some olive oil and soy sauce and them place them in a foil packet and grill them to taste. It always seems to work great.

That sounds scrumptious. Now that you're "just up the road", I'm going to your place to eat. Big Grin

Freddy - You know you're welcome whenever you get a chance to come up here. Smile

We actually had to leave our grill behind when we left MA, but we'll buy one soon.

I grill veggies all the time- love it and so does the wife. Shishito peppers are super easy and a crowd pleaser if you you have people coming over.

The watermelon is a great call too- I usually grill then serve with mint and jalapenos. The sweet and spicy is great!

Romain hearts makes for a really good salad.

I will also occasionally grill fruits- plums and peaches normally then actually grill up individual size flat bread desert pizza using homemade dough. I then serve with a greek yogurt "sauce" with cinnamon, honey and vanilla. 

I am getting hungry Smile

I often grill veggies. I like peppers done on the grill, red, yellow, orange or green. Just slice into large chunks so they don't fall through the grill, salt the bottom (non-skin) side, brush with oil and grill on medium-low until you get char marks.

Zucchini, sliced about 1/4 inch thick length-wise, as well as Japanese long eggplant sliced the same. Salt each side and let sit to remove some of the water. I use a paper towel to sop up the extra water it takes out, for about 20 minutes prior to grilling. Then I drizzle each side with a bit of good olive oil and grill them up with good char marks again, until they are soft. Once soft, I give them a splash of balsamic vinegar, and if you have it another drizzle of balsamic glaze. I've had many people compliment me on them when done this way.

I find that sweet potatoes work best on a charcoal or wood fired grill, as that smokey taste goes a long way to enhance the flavor. Then I serve those up with a bit of chipotle-mayo as a dipping sauce.

You're not crazy at all.  Grilled pineapple is awesome.

I baste them with a little honey and cinnamon.  Absolutely delicious.

Grilled pineapple tastes amazing on a grilled chicken burger.
