Don't cut it up. Coat it in olive oil & a bit of salt, then wrap it in foil and put it to the side of your grill (so that the heat is indirect). Make sure to keep the lid on, and rotate every 15 minutes.
After about 35 minutes, poke it with a fork. If it's soft, it's ready and delicious.

I'd give it more like 50 minutes...but yeah, it's easy! Rosemary is also good.

Yeah 45-50. I lose track of time when I BBQ, such is the seductive power of the Weber grill.

You know, if you have shishkeeeeeeeebob skewers you could cut it up AND coat it with olive oil AND salt AND rosemary and you will have crispy on the outside soft on the inside treats! But, yeah, tin-foil is fine.
