I personally think you're better off making potato salad or mashed potato on the side... I'm not a massive fan of baked potatoes with BBQ, bit heavy, know what I mean?
I also struggle to get them just right on a Weber...

potato salad
No apples or any raisins in the potato salad or you will anger the BBQ gods.

The question "why are we having baked potatoes on the hottest day of the year" did come up from my ever-appreciative diners. The ribs went down a storm though.
In other news, barbecuing with a migraine when you can't seen anything on your left-hand side adds an extra layer of challenge.

So, how do you cook potatoes on the barbecue? I've always found it to be very hit and miss, and even when it's successful it's not that good. Going for the traditional foil-wrapped "baked" potato ends up with something that's more steamed than baked and risks a charred side if you get too close to the heat. I tried it with some ribs (which were excellent) yesterday and the results were "whelming" at best.
