you're going to need to split them open to expose the meat. like any fish, you're gonna be grilling this quickly. a minute or two too long, and they'll get tough and stringy.
and baste with butter before you put them on the grill to help keep them moist.
silversage had a good technique of the way she split and cooked them, they came out beautifully with the meat popping out of the shell. i'll see if i can find her post.

I've done whole lobsters by par-boiling, splitting, then grilling quickly over high heat. Meat side first, then shell side and basted with parsley butter.
Check post 7 and 17 in this thread. The lobster was done under the broiler (so no grill) but it is a beautiful presentation that I'm dying to try. I might do this tonight!

Damn, SS's picture almost makes me want to work at liking lobster!
Here's another idea from Houndog on the BBQ forum.
Many, many people have successfully done his "Dwell in the Shell" thing on a charcoal grill, using this post.

While I have not grilled them - I have both boiled or broiled my lobster tails. This is a site that I found helpful.

The tails thawed faster than I thought they would, so I cooked them tonight. I basically used the technique shown here: http://www.grillingcompanion.com/grilling-lobster-tails/
Man were they delicious!!!

I'll definitely have to give lobster tails another try. While I'm a huge fan of whole lobster & make it fairly frequently (or at least as frequently as it's on sale - lol!), I've only cooked lobster tails once. Bought them frozen to use in a large paella I was making for a dinner party & found them UNBELIEVABLY SALTY. As in almost inedibly salty. What a disappointment. These were the Spiny (or warm-water) lobster tails. Now that Maine (or cold-water) lobster tails appear more often than not in the markets, maybe they'll be better.

Nice touch adding the garlic in the baste....those are beautiful grill marks you have there on both!
