Heat a bbq or pre-heat the grill. Remove the stones from the avocados and drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Place the avocado halves cut side down on the bbq for 3/4 minutes - the avocado will release itself when its ready, don't try and move before that time as it will stick. On the preheated grill until grill-lines begin to form on the avocado flesh, after about 5 minutes.
