The Tell-Tale Sign Your Coal Fire Grill Is Ready To Barbecue - Tasting Table
Briefly

When grilling heavier cuts of meat, like ribs or a whole chicken, it's better to rely on indirect heat. This method allows the meat to cook thoroughly without drying out.
To achieve high heat on a charcoal grill, watch for glowing red and white coals. For medium heat, look for light gray, ashy coals.
Direct heat is perfect for smaller items like cheeseburgers and thin cuts of steak, allowing for quick cooking and a delicious char.
Avoid cooking over black coals; they indicate that the grill isn’t ready, resulting in poorly cooked, limp, and chewy meat.
