Well I just got my first medium egg today and I cant wait to try it out. I have steaks marinating right now and I am getting ready to throw them on. Any useful tips for a brand new egger?

    Cote,
    Most of us swear by the TRex method :

    Cote,[p]T-Rex the steak, and realize you will probably never go out for steaks again and be happy. You'll feel you over paid and know you can make them better at home.[p]You will also impress you friends and neighbors![p]Smokey

    I am pretty brand new myself and was a little nervous about tossing $35 worth of steak on a 600° + grill. I tried hamburgers first. The steaks I cooked were about 1 1/4" thick and I coated them with different rubs, BGE, Cow Lick and Jamaican Firewalk. I went for 3 minutes on the first side at about 600° or a little higher then turned them, went 3 minutes, closed the dampers and left them on till the meat temp was about 175 or so which was nearly 20 minutes. My gang likes a little pink, not red. I think I would go a little cooler next time, they cook just a bit more after you pull them off, but they were really great, just about perfect. Go for it and enjoy!

    Cote,[p]Pay attention to your draft door and daisy wheel positions. I would tell you to keep notes on positions for temperature settings. For example: On my large egg having the draft door fully open, the wheel (Little holes) on the daisy fully open, and the slider portion of the daisy closed gives me 350 degrees consistently. With that type of information it becomes easier to get a temperature dialed in quicker. Becomes second nature to then set the temp to 400, or 300.[p]E
