How does a charcoal grill work?
To grill on a charcoal grill, all you need is charcoal and one Grill lighter . The charcoal must be placed in the appropriate bowl and lighted using the grill lighter. At first it starts to burn, whereupon embers form after a short time.

Now all you have to do is turn your food over and wait for it to be ready to eat. Some grills have a height-adjustable grate, which also makes grilling much easier.
There are these different types:
