The answer is Coal or charcoal.

EXPLANATION 
t's black when it's not in use -> Coal or charcoal is initially black in color.
It's red when it's in use -> Coal/charcoal becomes red when heated (in use)
It's grey when you're  done using it -> Coal/charcoal reduces to grey dust when spent or burnt off.
