Finally broke down and got the spider to use to sear steaks. Going to butcher tomorow to get some 1 1/2 -2" ribeyes. I have a couple of questions to help make this go as smoothly as possible since its my first attempt. I've been reading on techniques used etc. as far as putting the ci grate and spider under the plate setter while getting the steaks to 115 internal. Here are my questions (as ridiculous as they may be) I am under the assumption when taking the egg nuclear that I want the temp stabalized at 700? Does this mean to leave the to vent on but completely open, our no vent at all, If no vent at all what is to keep it from going to 900? Also while searing do you close the dome or leave it open?

I'm fairly new myself and I don't think you need to sear at temps that high especially on a spider.I figure 500 is hot enough and always with the dome down.Jamie.Hows ya gettin' on, me ol ****?Kippens.Newfoundland and Labrador. (Canada).

When you cook at 400* or above you don't need the DFMT on at all. Just regulate with the bottom draft door.They/Them
