How Grilling Works
Charcoal produces radiant heat in the bottom. The grates absorb heat and produce conduction heat on parts of the surface of the food making grill marks. The lid reflects mostly convection heat.
The exterior of the food absorbs direct heat from below, converts it to conduction heat, and it moves to the center of the food.
