Nothing brings people together quite like the rich aroma and sizzle of a charcoal grill. Whether you're hosting a backyard get-together or enjoying a quiet evening on the patio, a charcoal barbecue grill delivers an authentic, smoky flavor that gas and electric grills simply can’t replicate. At Ash & Ember, we offer premium charcoal grills for sale that are built for performance, durability, and unforgettable meals.
From classic grilling to open-fire cooking, our outdoor charcoal grills bring rustic charm and modern functionality to any patio or backyard. If you’re searching for a grill that combines tradition with versatility, our collection of charcoal barbecue grills is the perfect match.
Unlock the full potential of your charcoal grill with a few proven techniques that can take both your flavor and performance to the next level. Whether you’re a seasoned grill master or just getting started, these tips will help you grill with confidence.
Opt for lump charcoal over traditional briquettes when possible. Lump charcoal burns hotter, ignites faster, and produces less ash, making it ideal for achieving that bold, wood-fired flavor. Briquettes can still be a good choice for longer cooks, but be mindful of added fillers or chemicals that could affect taste or even damage your grill.
A chimney starter is the easiest, most effective way to light your coals without relying on lighter fluid. It helps you achieve evenly lit charcoal and eliminates chemical flavors that can transfer to your food. Simply fill it with charcoal, place kindling or newspaper underneath, and ignite—your coals will be ready in about 15–20 minutes.
Divide your grill into high and low heat zones by arranging your coals to one side of the grill. This setup allows you to sear meats over direct heat and move them to the cooler side for slower, more controlled cooking. Heat zones are especially helpful when grilling thick cuts or managing flare-ups.
Your grill’s vents play a key role in temperature regulation. The more open the vents, the hotter your fire burns. Keep both the top and bottom vents partially open to maintain steady airflow, or close them slightly to bring down the temperature. Learning to control airflow is essential for both low-and-slow barbecue and high-heat searing.
Just like an oven, your charcoal barbecue grill needs time to reach the right cooking temperature. Let the coals burn until they’re covered in white ash before placing food on the grates. This ensures even heat distribution and better flavor development.
Prevent sticking and improve your sear by lightly oiling your grill grates before placing food on them. Use a heat-safe brush or a paper towel dipped in oil to coat the grates while they’re hot.
Ash and grease buildup can restrict airflow and impact heat levels. After each grilling session, brush your grates clean and dispose of ash once it’s fully cooled. A clean grill lasts longer and also enhances your food’s flavor.
These techniques are simple but powerful—designed to help you get the most out of your outdoor charcoal grill and make every backyard cookout a success.

Have questions about choosing or using a charcoal grill? We’ve answered some of the most common queries to help you make the most of your outdoor cooking experience.
Lump charcoal is made from pure wood and burns hotter and faster, providing a clean, smoky flavor. Briquettes burn longer and more consistently but may contain additives.
While both have their benefits, charcoal grills are known for delivering a distinct, smoky taste that gas grills can’t match. Many grill enthusiasts prefer charcoal for its traditional flavor and higher heat potential.
Yes, most outdoor charcoal grills are safe for use on patios or decks. Just make sure you place your grill on a heat-resistant surface and follow all safety guidelines.
Control temperature by adjusting your charcoal quantity, creating heat zones, and using the grill’s vents to manage airflow.
That depends on your cooking needs. Larger families or frequent entertainers may prefer a full-size charcoal barbecue grill, while smaller households might enjoy a compact model for quick weekday meals.
