Need Grilled Butternut Squash Techniques

Howdy all. Making a pork roast this afternoon and I have a nice butternut squash I've been wanting to cook. I've been looking all over for a recipe for grilling slices of it but can't find anything that really floats my boat. Anybody have any experience with grilling this veggie? Thanks in advance!

I have never grilled butternut, but it doesn't sound like a bad idea. If I were going to do it, I would cut the squash into slices of even thickness. Put on a baking sheet, brush with melted butter, little S & P then par-bake it until almost tender. You could do this way in advance and just let it cool. When the grill is ready put the almost-cooked slices of squash on, brush with a little more butter and perhaps add some chopped sage.......or if you like it slightly on the sweet side, add a little brown sugar.
