Setting up a charcoal grill is straightforward, but it does require a bit of practice. Start by stacking the charcoal in the grill's base, then light it using either lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney. Once the coals are covered in a white ash coating, they’re ready for grilling. It’s beneficial to create a two-zone fire, with one side of the grill having direct heat for searing and the other side cooler for slower cooking. This technique allows for greater versatility in cooking, making it easy to achieve the perfect steak or tender ribs.

In addition to heat management, a charcoal holder allows for a variety of cooking techniques. For instance, you can use the two-zone cooking method by placing the coals on one side of the grill, creating a direct heat zone and an indirect heat zone. This method is perfect for cooking different types of food simultaneously. While searing meats over direct heat, you can place vegetables on the cooler side, allowing them to cook through without burning. This versatility is particularly beneficial for those who enjoy experimenting with different recipes and cooking styles.
