Ooow ... Man. 1. Too close. 2. If its trout use tin foil, make a wrap (papilotte). Add some white whine, onions, parsley, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, ... some chili if you like. After 10-15 min. Take it off and serve ? 3. If its jst a grill..... There is a couple of rules (: what you put on must shine. Use oil. Mingled with herbs. Use a brush to rub it on beforehand. If it starts to burn. Take it off ! No burn. Just heat. Enjoy.
