What, exactly, is the difference between pūlehu and kō‘ala? They've often been used interchangeably, and yet now the program accepted only one.

It appears as if DL is accepting pūlehu for fruits and veggies and kōʻala when broiling meat,fowl.
From wehewehe.org pū.lehu 1. vt. To broil, as sweet potatoes, breadfruit or bananas placed on hot embers. Cf. , kōʻala to broil flesh.
