Charcoal CAN get up to 1000 degrees fahrenheit, depending on how its made. What you get in your grill is usually closer to 600.

If you're trying to determine the temperature of your fire for grilling, one method is the "Hand Count." This is the number of seconds you can hold your hand 1-2 inches from the grilling surface.
High - 2 Seconds
Medium - 4 Seconds
Low - 5 Seconds
Generally, a single layer of coals covering the charcoal grate will result in a medium fire, which is recommended for most grilling. You might also want to consult the cookout calculator at charcoalbob.com which can show you how to grill steaks, burgers, chicken breasts, pork chops, etc. It also has grilling tips you may find helpful.

When grilling, practice makes perfect.
