Charcoal has been used since ancient times (it was made and used in the smelting of ores) and therefore we do not consider it to have been invented by anyone.

However, ground up charcoal reformed as a briquette began when Ellsworth B.A. Zwoyer of Pennsylvania applied for a patent in 1897. But it was Henry Ford who helped popularised its use in the 1920s.

Since before the colonial years in America, people have been grilling food. The idea probably originated with the Arawak people who roasted meat on a wooden structure that was referred to as a barbacoa in Spanish. For quite a while the phrase was used to describe the structure on its own rather than the process of grilling.
