re: Anyone cooked meat directly on charcoal before?

I have seen this done and it is completely unnecessary. This was something that was done before they discovered skewers or a grill type surface. It works but does not improve the cooking method.

It's a lot of fun, and it's foolproof in terms of getting a nice char and sear on the outside while not overcooking the inside of a cut that will toughen up if overcooked. It's so damned hot that it only takes a minute or two on each side to get the perfect char and middle.

Plus, it's fun.
