Abstract: A method and implement for a barbecue grill are provided. The barbecue grill implement comprises a handle, and an extension portion coupled with the handle and including a first bend, and a second bend in the opposite direction of the first bend. The extension portion may include first, second and third extension portion segments having respective lengths ‘l1’, ‘l2’ and ‘l3’, where ‘l1’ is greater than each of ‘l2’ and ‘l3’. A raking head extends from the extension portion, the raking head having a geometric perimeter with a substantially central opening. The raking head may have a pentagon-shaped perimeter. The barbecue grill implement is inserted in the barbecue, and moved along the charcoal grate. Charcoal is captured at the raking head, and the charcoal is relocated.
