barbecue grill

Charcoal cooking station

A barbecue grill is an apparatus for cooking food over an open flame or heat source, typically outdoors.

Fueled by charcoal, gas, or electricity, it features a grate where meat, vegetables, and other foods are cooked.

Often shortened to just grill or barbecue: We fired up the barbecue grill for the Fourth of July.
