Making up for using an accessory

[HoosierKettle]

Since I got chastised for using an accessory, tonight I used the ots and made caveman steaks for the first time. Simple grill, simple method, salt only. It doesn't get anymore purist

Steak looks great no matter how ya cooked it...

Thanks. They could have been better. The outside had a burnt char flavor. A little of that is ok but these had too much.

I left my bottom vent wide open but I'm thinking next time maybe I'll close the bottom vent before I start cooking. Maybe I'll try the Alton brown method next time. Less time in the coal, then wrap tight for 15 minutes to finish cooking.

And yes, the whole grill was an unnecessary accessory. I should have dumped the coals on the ground and cooked the steaks there

When ever I'm running with no lid (usually includes CI pans) I keep the bottom vents closed and the coals still run wide open...

I'd eat it!

Looks good to me

I've done caveman steaks a few times and sometimes they've been awesome other times not so much. I wanted to try it for myself and probably won't again, but the wow factor is fun.

I don't plan on doing regular steaks that way again but I wouldn't mind trying skirt steak following Alton brown method.

I have done the Alton Brown skirt steak a few times. It turns out pretty tasty.

More no bs cooking. Skin on salmon direct over lump coal. Salt and pepper dusted with a little cayenne and a small chunk of cherry in the Fire on the ots.

Ever thought about caveman salmon?

Your steaks look great!! I too had too much char when I did caveman the first time. I also had my vents wide open. However, I remedied the excess char flavor by placing my lid on the grill while they cooked. Bottom vents still wide open. I believe the excess char was caused by excess oxygen and therefore, flare ups. Flare ups don't happen on a covered Weber!

I thought about trying it last night. I haven't tried it but I think it would work just fine with skin on.

Thanks. I will give the lid a try next time.
