First steaks on BGE

I'm still very new here but having some pretty good success.   I did NY strips on the BGE last night.  Seasoned in Dale's, 600 degrees,  2 min. per side to sear and then 4 minutes with vents closed. on a cast iron grate.  I would rate them at about an "8" or so.  Maybe a little over done but very tender and tasty.  I did learn that its a good idea to "burp" the egg at high heats.   Am sure the hair will grow back on my wrist soon.  My wife complained that she smelled something burning.  I played dumb, didn't want to admit it was me. Probably won't forget to do it right next time.   Non related question...Is anybody on this forum also on the Modern Vespa forum?   Just curious.  thanks for all your help.

    Always remember... Chicks dig scars.

    Next time try doing them caveman style, right on the coals! Do the search thing on caveman and you'll find all of my recent cooks that way.

    Yes, MV member since....well for a long time. Love to scoot AND grill.
    When I'm not Eggin', I'm scootin'   Eggin' and 'cueing from Temecula Ca; an hour from San Diego, an hour and five minutes from Palm Springs, and an hour and a half from Los Angeles (yeah, right. With THAT traffic?)

    I'd like to say once you forget to burp it never happens again, but I've had multiple experiences with flashback, including one from the bottom vent. Leg hair burns just as fast as arm hair. Welcome to the group.

    Welcome aboard. You have now been initiated by fire into the forum. Now all you need are pics. They sounded good though.
    XL BGE, LG BGE, and a hunger to grill everything in sight!!!

    Welcome aboard. The steaks sound like a winner to me.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
