A charcoal grill is a type of outdoor cooking appliance that uses charcoal as its primary fuel source. It typically consists of a metal frame or cart, a cooking grate, and a charcoal tray or basket. Charcoal grills come in various sizes and styles, from small portable models for camping and tailgating to large, heavy-duty models for backyard cookouts. They are popular for their ability to impart a smoky flavor to food and their versatility in cooking a variety of dishes, from burgers and hot dogs to steaks and vegetables. However, they require more time and effort to set up and maintain than gas grills, and can be more challenging to regulate the temperature.
