I just used my new Weber one touch gold 22.5 for the first time last night. I was grilling ribeyes about 1.25-1.5 inches thick. I fired up my weber chimney and dumped the coals when lit on top...a little ashy. I moved the coals to one side leaving one area area for indirect if needed. Here is the problem. The steaks had more of a baked sensation to them. I did not get that charcoal taste to them at all. I have been using a gasser lately and am going back to charcoal for some foods. I remember from cooking on charcoal in the past of having the fat drip down some good hotspots on the meat, a lot of that good smokey semll like you can tell your neighbor is cooking steaks and you wish you were there. Should I have used one lit chimney and then dumped anther unlit? I am guessing the steaks were to far from the coals. I had the top and bottom vents wide open the whole cook and it was about fifty degrees outside.
