Hey, is there any way of "baking" frozen shoe string fries on an outside gas grille? I really don't want to heat the oven to 450 degrees in the heat that Western Pennsylvania is having.

You probably need to buy a grill pan with smaller openings and place it on top of the grates. They sell these for cooking seafood (eg. shrimp) on grills.

yeah.. a basket or something would just take out all the moisture.

Put them on a baking sheet that you don't mind having on the grill (might need a thin film of oil on the sheet). We need to put them on the rack above the main rack on our grill and we keep the lid closed; depends on the output of your grill.

I've wrapped them in foil, punched a few holes to let out the steam and threw them on the top rack of the grill at a fairly high heat (preheating for steaks).
