Interesting teshuva from Minchas Yitzchok (from 1935) attached on what fuels are ok for the mitzvah of sereifas chometz according to Reb Yehudah. Some hold that only wood is allowed but he disagrees and says that any fire is fine.
Rabbis @aygart and @Dan hit it on the nail.

You can do both - pre light some wood inside your grill and then burn your chometz on that.
ETA: Obviously if you don't have wood, don't let that stop you from burning or otherwise disposing in the manner your LOR tells you to.

Thanks! This is a great list - not the typical 634 page guides, just the stuff that are easy to forget.

Consult a kashrus organization's pesach guide for guidance and a list. Some of the guides in the wiki may have lists.

KAJ also has a pretty thorough list, though I can't attach it as it's a PDF. PM me your email address if you want it.

R' Blumenkrantz's book has a list of ingredients that are okay/not so you can check each thing even if you don't find it on a list.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I have a feeling that many will not go back to going away.

Fantastic, I am rethinking the “need” to always go away for Yom Tov.. there are maalos and chisronos both ways.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

There is nothing like making your own Seder.
