I have seen a lot of questions lately about this issue and i have decided that maybe it is time that someone wrote a guide devoted to using grenades.
 
 
WHAT TO DO FIRST
Obviously the first thing to do is to buy some grenades.  The best way to buy grenades is in factory crates of 25. They will often be priced between 15k and 40k.
Ok, now we have some grenades.
Find a group that will allow you to nade. I find that guild groups are especially good for this, but some large groups will let you nade as well.
 
WHAT TO KILL
 
Now we are all prepared to use our grenades, but it is no use unless we know what to kill. Go to any planet that you can get a group and non spitting creatures on.  Some examples of these are: Dantooine- Bols, Pikets. Tatooine, Dewbacks, Banthas. Obviously there are more than just these animals that you can hunt with grenades.
 
COMBAT!!!!!
 
Congratulations, you are almost there. I find that the best way to do this is to fire 1 or 2 shots at the lair, then, when you have been aggroed by every creature, throw your grenade. However, for professions without high melee defense, the best thing to do is just to target the lair and nade. This means that you wont be incapped before you can throw the nade. After nading, you will be incapped, so dont try to heal yourself during the agro, the medical xp will half or more the combat xp you will get.
I find the best thing to do after being healed from the incap, is to help your group kill the creatures. Because the nade hit the lair, new creatures will be spawning. These will show on your radar as yellow dots, whereas targets you have already hit are red. Kill the yellow dots with the weapon of your choice, but dont attack the red dots.
 
THE NUMBERS
 
Most elite combat professions cap combat xp at 300k. However, both master commando and master BH cap combat xp at 900k. I find BH good, as you can also cap 3 other kinds of weapon xp, making a total of 390k fs xp per trip. If you are not one of those professions, and cap combat xp at 300k, you can get a lot of combat xp through a day of grinding. Most lairs can give upwards of 80k combat xp. I have capped combat xp in 2 lairs, by nading every creature.
 
 
 
 
 
I hope this guide has helped people with their questions.

As far as i know the devs had said nothing at all about this. But if your friend is a master commando then he would be raking in the xp a lot quicker than the rest of us because there is one entire Commando tree devoted to grenades. And because everyone starts with basic C-12 Grenade certification i see no way that this could be considered a bug. It may be a minor exploit but it is nothing like PUP slicing or credit duping.
Oh and by the way, any constructive critisism on this guide is welcomed

As with what he says this is not an exploit or bug at all even though some species like Wookiees can NOT use C12s because they are bugged atm...my buddy Little-Grim felt that when he wasted a bunch of money on grenades but can't do anything with them now

Since as long as I've been playing, this has been true. The only grenade certification wookiees rate is the "light grenade" cert, which allows for the use of bugbombs. On the upside, it's not that hard to make novice commando if you really want to get serious about getting enough exp to climb to Jedi, and start making use of the C22 grenade, a more powerful grenade, which uses exactly the same components to manufacture as the C12, but which can do considerably more damage, reducing the expense of grenade grinding. I'm trying to remember the stats on the C22's I used to make, and I think the max damage was in the 1300 neighborhood. For those intent on using C12s, speed powerups are probably the way to go. An artisan 4/4/x/x has 10 experimentation points, so a master isn't really needed.

So you really do damage to yourself if you are standing in the blast radius? I've never noticed myself taking damage using this method. Hm, I may have to try with no armor but I can't imagine that we can hit ourselves with our own weapon. If we can then I'm impressed.

I'm pretty sure you do damage yourself but it's not that significant if you are buffed and wearing armor.  Just as a note on this, I used this method on hurtons and the like on Dant and managed to just about cap so I went to Dath to kill some stuff and head to the village.  I converted once my 2 handed and combat were caped and noticed I needed another 15k FS to get into the 4th block so I did some local mobs.  The Maloks are a good target but only con white.  My XP was low so I equiped a non certed weapon and that brought the XP in.  You can do the lower level mobs and still get great XP using C12s by equiping a non certed weapons.  2 malok lairs, one spider lair and a couple kinad baz nitches gave me 20k FS xp.
 
works great and this will be used in my FS XP grind from now on.....   just remember to get that BF checked before your next buff.  I'm hitting about 500 BF per buff now using grenades.  Not sure if that's directly from the grenades or from the mobs attacking me while not fighting back.  Remember that getting buffed with 500 BF means only a 50% buff so get that fixed.
