4 Ways to Control the Heat on a Charcoal Grill
1. Adjust The Airflow
3. Monitor The Distance
2. Build a Three-Zone or Two-Zone Fire
Another way to control the heat is to rake out the coals in varying thicknesses. To build a three-zone fire, arrange a double-thick layer of coals over one-third of the firebox—the third farthest away from you. This will be the hot zone for searing. Rake out the remaining coals in a single layer in the center of the grill this will be your moderate zone for cooking. Leave the remaining third of the grill fire-free for a cool or safety zone. By moving the food from the hot to the medium to the cool zone and back, you can effectively control the heat over which the food is grilling.
To set up a two-zone fire, rake the coals into an even layer across two-thirds of the grate. This is your grilling area the coal-free (fire-free) area is your safety zone.
