Answers:
Dip a paper towel in canola or vegetable oil, and rub it across the grill after it is lit, and right before you put your meat on. Use your tongs to hold the paper towel so that you dont burn yourself. Thats what the professional grillers do to keep meat from sticking. If you spray it with the cooking spray before you light, most of it burns off and your meat still sticks.
I have never heard of the onion trick before, so I dont know if it really works or not, but in that process it sounds like you would be wasting an onion. You arent gonna want to eat it if its all black and sooty from the grill grate.

Cut an onion in half and stick it on the end of a long bbq fork, now rub it on you hot grill
I spray non-stick coating on before lighting the BBQ. It works.
DO NOT spray it when the unit is lit.
Pour some olive oil on a paper towel and rub it onto the grill to coat it and will help things to no longer stick.
you can use that pam spray for the grill. spray it on just before you start you grill. you can also use tin foil on your grill that works too.
Place aluminum foil on the grill, and spray with a light coat of Pam. (the pam is optional though). Just save enough foil you might need it (you will know what i mean by that by one of my questions).
i usually just let the meat get seared really well before trying to flip it. This does two things
1) It locks in more juice in the meat so it is more juicy and have more flavor.
2) Does not allow the meat to stick to the grill as much, if at all.
if it does not work you can always use something like Pam or a cooking spray to spray the grill. Make sure you use something that will not alter the taste of the meat though.
Put Foil On The Grill Makes For Easy Cleaning To
The best way to coat a grill so food does not stick is to heat the grill like you normally would, then take a cotton towell and dip it in vegetable or olive oil. Or you could spray it with pam. Wipe the grill down with the towell while it is hot. The best way to do this is to take the grill piece off with a glove and coat it then put it back down. If you coat the grill before heating it, the oil is just going to burn off before you put the food on. That's why it's best to oil it right before putting your food on. Do not spray oil onto a grill while it is lit as it will cause flare ups.
Except for the onion these are all good ideas. I have had good results with the pam for the grill, however, the cheaper brands would work just as well. It also helps to brush the meat with a light coating of olive oil, it will also help the spices adhere to the meat better.
