Stir together oil, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and lemon juice in foil pan and put on grill over area with no coals.
Grill clams on grill rack over coals, turning with tongs, until they open, 3 to 7 minutes, transferring as opened to foil pan and being careful not to spill their juices. (Discard any clams that remain unopened after 7 minutes.)
Cook linguine in a pasta pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.
