Use a broiler pan to grill small items on your barbecue grill. We picked up a spare at the thrift store for this purpose.

It's grilling season! Here is some advice from the ThriftyFun community. Do you have any tips for saving money on grilling food this summer?
To save energy and time, I cook on the grill almost every weekend. I cook 2-3 different meats, such as burgers, chicken, hot dogs, or pork chops. I also cook several side dishes, such as, baked potatoes, grilled squash, or open a can of corn and put on the grill. I have enough for 2-3 more meals.
Spray your grill with nonstick cooking spray to keep items from sticking, and make cleanup easier. I bought a "Kitchen Spritzer" from The Pampered Chef that uses cooking oil in a non-aerosol pump.
Outside Grilling for Cold Weather. I am grilling outside today! Yes, in 50 degree weather, Brrr! I'm grilling wings, burgers and hot dogs. Then I freeze in bags to be used later. I can pull out what I want, still frozen.
Keep the barbeque grill cleaner by rubbing it with cooking oil before using it. You will have less stuck on food!
