Grilling is the ultimate pastime in the summer, from backyard BBQs and cookouts to weeknight dinners out on the patio. And while we all have our favorite types of grills, charcoal grills are at the top of many people’s lists. Charcoal grilling offers a hands-on approach to outdoor cooking, and the key to success is understanding how to manage the heat and using the right tools.

If you run to the store to get charcoal, you’re most likely bringing home charcoal briquettes. These are the uniform nuggets that produce a long-burning and relatively even heat. They’re also usually the cheaper option for many outdoor grillers. While many enjoy charcoal grilling because it seems more “natural”, charcoal briquettes are a less natural type of charcoal as they’re packed with wood and filled with binders.
