# Can I also use charcoal?

CONE, BOWL 57, and BOWL 70 are designed for grilling with charcoal or briquettes. While other höfats fire bowls can theoretically be used with these fuels, achieving optimal grilling heat may require additional charcoal. For an ideal grilling experience, we recommend enjoying the natural flavor and ambiance of a wood fire.
