Concern/heat too high in beginning?

Unknown

Hey everyone. I have read several times in the forum how you should not heat a NEW egg to sear a steak until you have cooked numerous times..10-12 ..Well,I did not know that when I cooked steaks the 2nd, 3rd and 4th time on my grill...temp over 700. At least I did cook chicken the first time I fired it up! Is there anything I should check at this time...grrr..I feel so stupid. I watched the video and read the cookbook info..nothing was said about not firing it up high in the beginning. I hate to say this but is that "guy knowledge" ..Thank you again.

Ann/Magnolia Blossom,
If you have already cooked steaks, I doubt you will have ann issue.[p]Mike

Car Wash Mike,
Has something to do with new gaskets and glue not curing, but sounds like you have the one previously cured in shipping. Enjoy!

Car Wash Mike, Thank you for the words of encouragement. If it was going to blow/melt..whatever,,it would have happened while I was cooking? Just concerned if I needed to check something to make sure it does not "check out" while I have something else going on. Thank you Mike.
