    My tip is to parboil chicken wings, sausages & ribs before placing on the grill. It will cut down on grilling time, ensure the meats are cooked through, and keep the meats from drying out.

    Been dying to make a grilled pizza too, finally settled for pizza dough with olive oil and garlic and parsley for my garlic bread on the grill and it was amazing. Could work with meat toppings and veggies, no cheese or maybe vegan cheese.
