Six metal skewers are actively cooking over glowing charcoal and ash within a well-used, open-top grill in Kasri Arifan, Uzbekistan. The three skewers on the left hold irregularly cut chunks of browning meat, consistent with shashlik, showing some charring. The three skewers on the right bear elongated, cylindrical forms of ground meat, consistent with lula kebab, also browning. Visible white smoke emanates from the coals and the cooking meat. The interior walls of the grill are dark, textured, and show evidence of soot accumulation. The base of the metal grill structure is partially visible, positioned over light-colored earth or sand. No individuals are present in the scene.
