Is the charcoal ash from my grill beneficial in my compost pile or
should I leave it out? The charcoal I use says it's made from 100%
oak wood.

NOT BRIQUETTES! But wood charcoal is good for the garden soil. The
smaller they are the more surface area you get per weight. In hot
composting, I don't think they would serve any function but doubt that
it would hurt anything.
