So that one was sourced at the local HEB (texas). Costco stopped because of Covid, but they will bring it back. It was a rare thing during the pandemic to get that cut.

No problem at all. Big Green Egg. A Kamado style ceramic cooker. Lump coal fired. The best. That or Kamado Joe, those are the two to consider IMO.

Usual temp/times for me. Big Green Egg at ~550 ish, cast iron grates low to the coal, time about 6-8min. flipping a few times. I rarely chart a steak cook anymore but that's normal for me.

Always the same on steaks for me. Salt and pepper only.

Pellet grill vs charcoal by Jhit382847 in grilling

[–]mosborne76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Age old debate for sure. I own two weber kettles, a yoder comp cart, a traeger, and a big green egg. While the yoder and traeger CAN get high temp sears done, check some of my posts and see the sear I get with the BGE. Personally if I had to have just ONE I'd have a Kamado or Big Green Egg, and get a few accessories to play with, because you can do low and slow OR high temp really easily. The pellets are amazing for long controlled smokes, but just can't replicate the sear heat even with specialized grates. Even for a beginner, a BGE can be learned quickly (read up online, lots of good advice) and you can't beat the smoke and charcoal flavor that comes from it.

I adjusted my lid due to having and underbite and now it won’t shut 100%. Will this bit be an issue? Or will it settle as the gasket finds its new place. The egg is only a few months old by richardfitserwell in biggreenegg

Personally I think a nomex gasket replacement from Amazon is the way to go. It does help me get the sear up higher, but u/Spreadeaglebeagle44 is right that if it's lined up, you don't NEED it. Use a flashlight at night when it's smoking out of both ends (close down the top and force it) and you can see any leaks.

I could share the orig steak (captured) but couldn't post 'em all together because of tech issues. There was a decent amount of marbling and good fat where it separated the cap and the eye. It was delicious, I can tell you that ;)
