Steak ?

chillcoolcold · Oct 30, 2010

OK I love to Cook steaks

I have been using my Weber kettle with charcoal and oak chunks. Great yes, however when I am cooking for a crowd not big enough. So XL BGE or some type of adjustable charcoal grill?? Whats the best for steaks?

Mothers Day 2-1/2" Porter House Steaks with salt pepper garlic and olive oil!!

Windy as hel# that day had tarps set up and seared on Weber. Finished indirect on gasser Better Way?? Had to do only (2) two at a time.

For space, price and taste, my CharGriller Pro produces some pretty good Steaks.

Yes sir:thumb: You get a lot of grilling real estate with a Chargriller and the cast iron grates are great for searing.

It's hard to beat a Big Green Egg for steaks and you can use it easily year round in all kinda weather conditions.

A good, hot wood fire in the Kettle is how I usually roll, but just a tad bit better are the CI grates on my Lodge Sportsman with a coal fire and wood chunks on each end for smoke flavor. I need to get my Lodge outta the garage and fire it up with some beef slabs! Nice Pron. I'd hit those PHs! Cool t shirt too.

Ther's nothing wrong with a good steak.... the enclosed link was a few monster t-bones on a Bubba Keg (same size as a large BGE).

How big is the crowd? I love my kettle but it's hardly been touched since I got the first egg. The ceramic just maintains high heat so well.

I've done the World Championship Steak Cookoff in Magnolia Arkansas with Dr. BBQ twice. Using a large and one XL we probably cranked out close to 30 steaks (1 lb ribeyes) in less than 15 minutes.

The XL Egg is going to give you a little more room than the 22.5" kettle. The grate on an XL is 24". The 26" kettle would probably be a better choice based on size alone. Of course, a Ranch Kettle is the ultimate :-D

For the WOW factor.........go this way. Wood coals RAWK!

You Know what... I think your right. The Weber 26" has stainless grates
the ranch is too big the Egg is too pricy!

Thanks for making up my mine.

If you want a good steak cook it over wood coals

I'm very good at spending other people's money :clap2:

BTW, the Egg is one heck of a steak cooker, but since your concern was more room, an XL doesn't get you much more than what you already have. You could always watch Craigs List for a used Egg to supplement the kettle.

If you only need room part of the year or one or two times you can look at hot tubbing the steaks.

Someday I am gonna get myself a Santa Maria grill and that will be the steak cooker of choice. The best steaks I have ever had came off a Santa Maria over oak.
