You're very welcome. I use "kosher" salt for almost all of my cooking, but
not baking. I keep a salt bowl right next to the stove.

Yes, I use the same method on the barbecue grill. For vegetables and
smaller items I use a perforated basket on the barbecue, but one could use
foil that has been pierced in places.
