Shoot, that's the whole point of a gas grill. Turn it on, cook, turn it off.
I have myself never had much luck cooking chicken directly over a gas grill.
Maybe mine doesn't go low enough. I do the dreaded preboil, although I could
gussy it up some by calling it a "gentle braise followed by a caramelizing
on the grill". :-)

You can cook pork tenderloin chops very fast. I don't personally think they
have much flavor compared to meat from the shoulder or rear leg, but the loin
meat will cook very quickly.
