Easy Grill Instructions
  1. Place the roast in a roasting pan or on a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil.
  2. Cover roasting pan with top or seal with foil. If on a sheet of heavy duty foil, fold it over and seal it. Make it an air-tight package.
  3. Place the prepared meat on the gas grill and save your kitchen from high heat.
  4. Set the control of the gas grill at "low", cover the grill and cook for about 3 hours or until done. If charcoal grill, and there is no top, make a tent with foil.
