I cut two slits (in the foil) in between each burner to let the juices of the meat drain so that the flames don’t flare up.
Last Christmas, I got the best gift of all. My granddaughter bought a large wall calendar and circled all important dates in yellow. My son’s and daughter’s birthdays are there, as well as doctor’s appointments, club meeting dates, and other important data.
On the very last page is a blank sheet where she wrote down everyone’s phone number, including my doctor’s and dentist’s numbers. Family members were also there, as well as the phone numbers of my friends, which I sometimes forget. She even listed the security code to my alarm system. This year for Christmas, I’m going to ask her to do the same thing because it’s so handy to have all this information in one easy-to-reach spot. -- H.S., in KentuckyYou can save on your gasoline bill by utilizing the “turn right on red” option.

I then put some high-temperature grill spray on the foil to keep the food from sticking. I set the burners on high for a few seconds, then turn them all the way down to low before placing the food on the foil. By using the heavy-duty foil, it keeps the food cooking at about 240-250 F. The pork steaks come out tasting great. -- D.H., in Houston.
