Mixed Grilled Vegetables

Chief Jack's Note:

This is best if cooked over a charcoal or wood ember fire but if you’re using gas, you can put some wood chips in a foil pouch and put it over a corner of the burner and get at least some of the smokey flavor. It needs to be good and chunky or it could get mushy.
