1. A cooking device consisting of a metal grate or rack placed above hot coals heated by gas or charcoal briquettes. Food to be cooked is placed on the rack approximately 4 to 5 inches above the coals so the direct heat of the coals can cook the items being prepared. There are a variety of different grills available for gilling, such as charcoal grills using only briquettes, gas grills using LP gas, or electric grill using electrical current as the fuel source to cook the food.
