Hi Christie, would you recommend indirect heat for the cut-side down? Or would I need to set them directly over the coals?
Hi Steve. I cook them over direct heat. If they start to cook too fast, I move them to the edges of the coals.
Really? That’s it? No…after the acorn squash is finished add a bit of butter, salt & pepper, chopped spices and dash of brown sugar to infuse and enhance the bbq flavor? Just your done? Hmm…professional BBQ-er?
