You forgot to include some people's version of grilled burgers as a third option. (Or, for that matter, the outer layer of what comes out of many a smoker.)

Stubbs briquets for me. It just gives me a more consistent and longer burn. I find lump burns too hot and too fast for me.

I use Rockford lump in my Green Eggs and Kingsford Professional briquets in my PK for steak comps. Never...and I mean never lighter fluid!!


Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.

I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

Kingsford briquets when I’m not using mesquite.

I have a Kamado so it's lump for me. Hickory for pork and chicken, mesquite for beef.

Both. Usually a mix of briquettes with some chunks of lump.

Only use the Kingsford Original (blue bag) for charcoal. Tried all the others.

Lump for searing steaks, but I use less now that I have one of those dual burner Mr. Steak Infrared table top grills. Amazing they are. Maillard Reaction is where it's at for better flavored steak.

Gibby, if you have a chimney starter try searing your steaks on top of it. My infrared gun sez well over 1K degrees . Does a wonderful job.

Don't walk away from it !

That's what the Mr. Steak reaches. Over 1000F. Plus lots of heat rays. You need long tongs. Wintertime, wear a t-shirt almost. Heats up in three minutes, 90 seconds sear on each side, turn the knobs to low. Cook until the MK4 thermometer reaches 118-120 then take off. A 1 1/4"-1 1/2" steak will sizzle up to 130 in the middle. Perfect medium rare. Juicy as all get out. I took a gamble buying this since I have Weber Kettles and WSM, but I love it.


I have an infrared gun, but never tested it. I will.

Cool.

I just bought a 4 pack of small REs.

I think I'll do 'em start to finish on the chimney

Let us know how it works out. Should work well. Hotter the better.
