I have had a problem with ribeye flare up because of the fat content. I was wondering if I used a cast iron skillet would this protect the meat from the flare ups?
Thanks,
Ty P.

    The skillet is probably not your answer. However sear them at about 650-700 degrees for about 2-3 minutes a side, then shut it down after your second flip for another 2-3 minutes. If you are getting too much flare ups during the searing process then shut down both dampers for a second or two then open them back up and the flames should go away.
