A multi-functional barbecue grill arrangement which includes a charcoal support rack that enables the grilling arrangement to be used for searing, as well as a conventional barbecue cooking. A barrel-type grilling chamber is supported by a sturdy, A-shaped support frame. A layer of insulating, heat-resistant material, such as cement, lines the lowermost portion of the interior surface of the grilling chamber. Charcoal can be placed on the cement lining and/or on a charcoal support rack disposed above the cement lining, but below one or more food grills. The charcoal support rack, which has a length less than the food grill(s), is translatable on rails to enable the user to position ignited charcoal in close proximity to food on the grilling surface so that the food is seared from the rapid and intense application of heat. Advantageously, the charcoal support rack facilitates ignition of charcoal disposed thereon, by providing a convenient area underneath the charcoal for positioning a flammable item, such as balled-up newspaper. Igniting the newspaper creates a flame which in turn ignites the charcoal. Ignited charcoal on the charcoal support rack can then be used for searing food and/or igniting additional charcoal disposed on the lowermost interior surface for barbecue cooking.
