Kiri, can you ask the list about this for me?

In the Melitta Weiss Adamson translation of the Bok von guter spise she
translates a phrase as "cook on a wooden grill".

I.e.  In recipe 8. A stuffed roasted suckling pig she has translated it
partly as follows:
"Put it gently into a kettle, let it boil without damaging the skin.  Then
take it, put it on a wooden grill, and grill it on low heat.  When it is
well roasted, take a board and put it on top of a platter."

The wooden grill appears again in recipe 20 and 38, Stockfish; 25-Gebraten
milch (fried milk which was discussed on the list recently

Did they use wooden grills for slow roasting things?  Would a wooden gill
hold up to such heat without burning or at least scorching?

Regina
