Charcoal Grills

A charcoal grill is a type of outdoor cooking appliance that uses charcoal as a fuel source to cook food.  Charcoal grills typically consist of a metal cooking grate positioned over a charcoal pan or bed, which is lit with a match or lighter fluid.  The heat from the burning charcoal then radiates up to the food, which is placed on the grate for cooking.

Charcoal grills offer several advantages:

• UNIQUE FLAVOR:  They are known for their ability to create a unique, smoky flavor in food that cannot be replicated with other types of grills.
• PORTABLE:  Charcoal grills are portable and do not require an external power source, making them perfect for camping trips, picnics, and other outdoor activities.

There are different types of charcoal grills:

• KETTLE GRILLS:   The most common type of charcoal grill, and are characterized by their round, bowl-shaped design.
• BARREL GRILLS:  These grills are larger and often have a more complex design, allowing for smoking as well as grilling.
• CERAMIC GRILLS:  Also known as kamado grills, are designed to retain heat and are often used for slow-cooking and smoking.
