"What is An independent clause that expresses a complete thought?" is a question, so it is an interrogative sentence.

In this case, "After the grill is hot," qualifies as the clause in the sentence.
It's an Interrogative Sentence and an Independent (and Main) Clause.
Simple Sentence .
A complex sentence has a dependent clause and a compound-complex sentence has two independent clauses.
This sentence is a complex sentence, as it contains an independent clause ("an onlooking man prevented him") and a dependent clause ("he was about to lace them to the boy's feet"). The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
