Default Getting ready to grill

Sliced lengthwise: yellow squash, zucchini. Also grilling a couple of
ears of corn and Italian sausage links.

The corn is currently soaking in cold water to prevent the husks from
burning. My grill is a simple Weber kettle; I use wood coals. The corn
will go on the grill first. It takes the longest and I cook it on
fairly indirect heat, turning it several times. It takes about an hour.

The summer squash doesn't take long to cook. I brush the squash with a
little olive oil and sprinkle it lightly with pepper and some Italian
herb seasoning. I like to cook the squash until it is lightly browned
on the outside, slightly crusty, and very tender inside.

The Italian sausage links were a BOGO. I'll add them last and grill
them over the hottest coals. Slashed with a knife to release the excess
fat. Got to watch the flames, of course, you don't want burnt sausage.
I have no objection to a slight char on juicy grilled sausage.
