FAQ – Charcoal Grills

Charcoal grills use briquettes or lump charcoal for fuel, creating a smoky flavor and high-heat cooking experience that gas options can’t replicate.

Yes. While they take a bit more time to light and control, many charcoal grills are simple to use and great for learning traditional grilling techniques.

Lump charcoal burns hotter and cleaner, while briquettes offer longer, more consistent burn times. Both work well depending on your style.

Do charcoal grills reach high enough temperatures for searing?

How long does it take to heat up a charcoal grill?

Yes. Many charcoal grills allow indirect cooking, making them ideal for smoking ribs, brisket, chicken, and more.

Cleaning ash after each session and brushing the grates is usually all that’s needed. Thick steel or ceramic models are especially durable.

Small kettles are great for tight spaces, while larger barrels or kamado grills suit families or long smoking sessions.
