charcoal grilling
Cooking over embers
Charcoal grilling is cooking food over burning charcoal, typically in an outdoor grill.
The method produces higher heat than gas grilling and imparts a distinctive smoky flavor prized by enthusiasts.
Charcoal grilling requires more preparation—lighting the coals, waiting for them to ash over—but many consider the results worth the extra effort: Nothing beats charcoal grilling for a proper burger.
