I give you a better recipe to Baked Potato on grill.

By using this method, you will get a slow rise in temperature but the heavy duty aluminium foil keeps the heat in to evenly cook the potatoes.

Baked Potato along with foil
When we talk about Baked Potato along with foil I personally recommend you guys to cover the potatoes with heavy duty aluminium foil before placing them on grill. Cooking potato in aluminium foil helps the potato slowly to rise in temperature and allows each potato to cook evenly.
I recommend you strictly to use heavy duty foil because if you do not use foil it may burn the potatoes while keeping them uncooked. Covering potatoes with heavy duty aluminium foil avoid the mixture from seeping out while the food is on grill. If you do not have heavy duty aluminium foil than you can wrap two layers of regular foil to increase the strength of foil. Baked Potato on grill without foil may cook food while seeping out anything which may cause difficulty to present a good presentation of your food. The last step is very critical to get this crispy skin that will taste crunchy and delicious and soft and juicy inside.
