Heat a grill to medium-high. On a sheet pan, in a baking dish or on a platter, drizzle the asparagus with the oil, season generously with salt and pepper and rub to evenly coat.
When ready to grill, clean the grates with a grill brush. Add the asparagus perpendicular to the grates and the lemon cut-sides down, if using. Grill, turning occasionally, until the asparagus is lightly charred, bright-green and barely fork tender and the lemon is charred, 3 to 6 minutes. (If using a gas grill, close the grill between turns.) Squeeze the lemon over the asparagus and serve.
I try not to forget to take the rough part of the stems off with a peeler before cooking—I can get a lot more asparagus for my money that way, as the tender heart goes inches further than the tender tops.
