Abstract
A shield is provided that is configured to separate foodstuffs being grilled from hot charcoal. More specifically, the shield is a single piece stainless steel designed to provide a barrier between burning charcoal coals and meat, vegetables, or fruit being cooked on a charcoal grill. The shield, thus, provides an indirect or secondary heat source for the grilling experience. The shield also reduces the unhealthy aspect of grilling meats, whereby carcinogenic compounds known as HCAs and PAHs are produced as dripping grease falls on the heat source, especially during high temperature settings.

A metal shield configured to be placed between hot charcoal coals and food being cooked that acts as a secondary heat source, comprising:

- and
- a plurality of cylindrical protrusions extending from an outer surface of the member, wherein each protrusion ends at a substantially planar surface with an aperture extending therethrough.
