A charcoal grill uses coal briquettes or lump charcoal as fuel. This fuel type excels at reaching high temperatures that create a perfect sear, locking in natural juices and flavours. The direct exposure to the heat imparts a distinct, smoky taste. Add a charcoal chimney starter from our BBQ accessories range to make it almost as quick and convenient as cooking on a gas barbecue. Designed to ignite charcoal quickly without lighter fluid or other chemicals.
Direct Grilling: High heat - Perfect for quickly cooking burgers and steaks. Food is cooked directly over the charcoal for fast, intense heat.
Indirect Grilling: For thicker cuts of meat such as ribs or whole chickens - placed away from the charcoal, utilising the surrounding heat.
Smoking: An art of patience and precision. Maintain low temperatures with the lid closed and charcoal positioned to one side; Add wood chips for a deep, smoky flavour.

Whether you're a seasoned grill master or a weekend warrior. Owning a charcoal grill can transform your outdoor cooking experience. Explore our selection of the best charcoal BBQs and discover why a charcoal grill is a must have in everybody's outdoor living space.
If you want to lower or control the high temperature of your charcoal BBQ grill – then close the lid. This lessens the amount of oxygen available to the coals and your flames will die down. If you’re cooking thin cuts of meat – leave the lid open. Large steaks, roasts and rotisserie meats require a more penetrative heat and closing the lid will have an effect similar to an oven - giving you perfectly roasted results without heavy charring.
For foods that require direct grilling like burgers, steaks, or kebab skewers – You’ll get about 2-3 hours burn time on your charcoal grill with lump charcoal. For foods that require a longer cooking time, choose charcoal briquettes – these will give you between 4 and 5 hours cooking time.
If your recipe requires a long cooking time close the smoker and adjust the airflow through the top and side vents to oxygenate the fire. Closing the vents will decrease the temperature – to increase the temperature you’ll need to open them. Check your smoker every hour and add charcoal as necessary. For smoking meats, the temperature should stay between 94°C and 121°C
