Carlton, Olive oil, lightly kosher salted, lots of coarse pepper, squeezed lime. Get the lighter chimney real hot then place a grill over the chimney. Put tuna on grill for abour 12-15 seconds per side and call it good. This uses less charcoal than the egg and is MUCH faster. Problem is unless you take the lit charcoal and dump it in the egg to do maybe asparagas, you don't get to play with the egg! Sometimes I mix a little honey into the coating to get it more blackened.

Carlton,
I've been trying out the range of rubs from Dizzy Pig. I bought all 8 and haven't found one I didn't like. I griled Tuna last night with the Jamaica Jerk seasoning. Wow. It was spicy and a bit different than your usual fish rub. The Raging River and Tsunami Spin are both excellent on tuna as well. I know it doesn't satisfy your immediate needs, but if you want to try a pre-made product, I don't think you'll go wrong.

Carlton,[p]I do an oriental tuna that has consistently proven to be outstanding....the one in the pic was a bit overdone, so don't leave the cooker! Just a couple minutes per side at 500° and it's a nice med-rare. And, even overcooked, this was a very tasty dish.[p]Let us know how your's turns out...[p]QBabe
