Never owned a grill before, until now. Gas, 4 main burners plus a side burner.

Would love some recommendations for what you guys love grilling

Don't sleep on grilling vegetables. They generally need just a little oil but some don't even need that. I love doing a kebab with a variety of vegetables (mushrooms, peppers, zuccini, etc.) and sometimes steak. One of the best things to grill is corn on the cob. Just peel it and rub it in a little oil (olive is my favorite even though I eat it with butter) and put it straight on the grill. Wait until its looking juicy and its ready to eat. A little black or brown on a few kernels is great as well

    For things like squash, zucchini, and especially eggplant, I like to cut them, salt both sides, and put them in the fridge for like an hour. Then come back to them, pat them dry, THEN add your oil/fat before grilling them. On eggplant in particular, it seems to cut the bitterness. On all of them. It makes them brown faster without getting soggy.

    I have done that with Eggplant the one time made it. I know that's almost required with eggplants.

    I usually salt my veggies a few minutes before I grill. But I should try the hour beforehand. I do it with meat (I sometimes do days with meat) so it should be easy to do with squash, zucchini, etc.
