Preheat the oven to 250° C.

Prepare a small amount of coal on the stove top, ensuring a small window is open for ventilation.

Heat the coal on the stove until it turns red, which takes about 8 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine 500 g of single grinded meat with 100 g of fat from the wheel, diced.

Add one small diced red pepper and salt to the meat mixture.

Knead the meat mixture gently, ensuring not to heat it up too much.

Divide the meat mixture into four batches.

Wet your hands and shape each batch around a skewer, ensuring even distribution of meat.

Place the skewers on a tray and crack the hot coal into pieces, distributing it around the skewers.

Put the tray with the kebabs in the oven on the top shelf.

After 4 minutes, carefully turn the kebabs and wet the lavash with the fat from the kebabs.

Return the kebabs to the oven for another 4 minutes until cooked through.

Remove the kebabs from the oven, wet the lavash with the juices from the kebabs, and serve.
