Tried Caveman this weekend and got a question.
Why did my lump stick to the steak? I think the coals needed to be hotter.
Only other problem I left it on too long, seems to get to temp quicker than I expected. Will try again, but might so SV and 1 min each side. Love some feedback

The only time I have done caveman style I had the coals white hot and there was a good layer of ash on them. This prevented any lump from sticking to the meat. I did knock the meat against the side to knock off any loose ash between flips.
Others have done this style more and hopefully they will chime in.Medium BGE , iGrill2

Doneness would've been perfect for me - nice medium pink juicy beef!“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

I often eat like a caveman, but after watching this video I have no desire to cook like one. A low setting cast iron grid just makes much more sense to me.

I'm not sure why your charcoal stuck so much. I like to do my cook when the coals are orange hot - before they get white and ashy. With too much ash, some of it gets on your meat. When I flip my steaks it's common to see one or two pieces (although sometimes none) of coal stuck to the meat, but that's not a problem.
More pepper/rub/crust may have helped as well.

Coals weren't hot enough. Needs be 100% glowing red

He doesn't know Shlt, but got lucky on this one. It also helps to have larger lump on top. The small stuff is more clingy.DoubleEgger said:Coals weren't hot enough. Needs be 100% glowing redSandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga -
