<p />above are a couple sirloin venison steaks that came up to room temp with a little seasoning thanks to toyman[p][p]next i put the inverted abt rack on the top grid losded with lump with a couple inches worth of lump down on the regular grate. i just lit the lump on the top and let the falling ash lite the lump below.[p][p]after bout a minute and a half, per side i moved em off to the main grid, findin out that, that close to the coals you have a tendency to overcook or burn the meat. just so you know dome temp was only about 450 when i did the sear.[p][p]now thats what im callin sear marks

eggor, How high a temp at grate level do you think you could get with a double stack of lump? Looks like your design pattern is paying off. Great job! TV
