Actually charcoal is for Haitians and other backyard novices.

Did you see any charcoal in those 2 pics?

If you smoke a good steak, or grill it on charcoal, you might as well feed it to the dog.

If by charcoal, you mean this crap:

I would agree. My steaks are grilled on this:

at 700 degrees over lump hardwood charcoal - takes about 6 1/2 minutes. Feeding one of them to a dog would warrant consigning you to hell for all eternity.

Depends on the dog ... and your steak budget.

Ah... BGE. Almost as good as the Bubba Keg Grill, now known as the Big Steel Keg.

700’s mighty hot!

I’m usually around 450-ish for a steak. 300-350 for slower-cooking meats, with indirect heat.

Still learning the art of charcoal, and I intend to practice for the next 3 or 4 decades (or until I drop dead, whichever comes first).
