I'm planning on trying a ribeye on my BGE and want to ask a couple of questions with regard to methodology. I plan on completely cleaning the BGE beforehand and putting the Hi-Q grate on to ensure maximum airflow. I'll make sure that the BGE is at a nice temp for a bit before I start, but....
Should I shake the lump up during the flip? - In other words, pull the steak for a few seconds while I give the coals a quick stir to reduce the amount of ash on the surface of the coals before I put the steak back on.
and - how hot am I really trying to go - Hot, or insane hot? It's easy to get 700+, but is shooting for 4 digits better? I can get and keep 700+ with the lid closed, but should I just do the whole thing with the lid open for max air?
