Coal to grate. Nothing in between.

When lump charcoal reaches temperature, it throws radiant heat upward at close to 900°C — a kind of energy that gas burners are physically incapable of producing. The ROASTERS charcoal grill puts that heat directly under a cast-iron grate, and puts your product directly on that grate. There is no element, no ceramic diffuser, no infrared plate standing between the coal and the meat. What you get is a crust that forms in seconds, a smoke ring that develops through the cook, and a flavour that only direct coal fire produces. This is the oldest cooking method in the world, built into a professional platform that can run service for hours.
Lump charcoal burns at up to 900°C — roughly 250°C hotter than most commercial gas burners at full output.
Radiant coal heat triggers Maillard browning faster and deeper than convective gas heat, producing a crust that forms from the inside of the surface outward.
Coal smoke deposits guaiacol and syringol compounds on the meat during cooking — the specific molecules responsible for the flavour diners describe as "real grill."
