I have a mouth full of hot coals, but I never speak a single word. What am I?
A grill
The riddle relies on anthropomorphism by giving a cooking apparatus a mouth filled with glowing fuel. Although it holds the intense heat required for searing meats, it remains completely silent throughout the entire cooking process. This vivid imagery points straight to the backyard cooking station.
