A portable charcoal grill can be carried on the back or pulled by its handle and loaded with lump charcoal for easy cooking anywhere in a campsite, park or at a picnic site. It operates using the same principle as other charcoal grills: a pile of coal is started with either a chimney starter, a butane torch, or an electric heat gun and when it becomes white-hot, it can be brushed off to form a flat surface that cooking grates can be installed above for direct heat cooking or placed farther away from it for indirect heating. Some models also have hot ash receptacles and side racks. Some are able to fold into a compact, luggage-style unit that is easily transported. Custom logo imprinting is offered.
