    Interesting.  My take is that it is not about the chimney or any of the other tools.  It is about the temp.  A chimney full of lump can get over 1000 degrees and be too hot.  I've also settled in at 550-600 as ideal temp to sear a steak.

    Thanks. What I came away with that video within the framework of the BGE forum - is the sometimes maligned old Mini BGE is still the best steak grilling size egg! Compare their results with the chimney to the closeness of the Mini and you're there, Piere!

    Thanks for posting @heavyg - That was a good watch.  I'd like Adam to do more food experiments.

    I watched it, my inner science geek wants more data. Other than that I think they missed out on a grill with a CI griddle. More even browning/ some amount of smoke flavor.

    Good stuff. Note to self, no need for afterburner sear.
