I used my Smokey Joe Silver with my Craycort grates so I split it up. Filled up the new compact chimney starter (smaller than the normal one) with Stubb's briquettes. Then once I poured out the briquettes I put unlit Royal Oak Hardwood lump on top of the lit briquettes on the side where the steak would eventually go. Then I started with the vegetables, putting the red bell peppers on the potentially hotter side with the lump (but it takes a few minutes to catch and get going). Then I put all my vegetables into one of those "keep cold or hot 3 hour bags" and threw the steak on over the side with the lump which had caught and was fired up nicely. As it was searing I put the lobster on the medium/high part of the grill. The steak finished first and while it was resting I finished the lobster. Then it was all ready and hot at the same time. I'm kind of like a battle attack plan kind of girl, I like having it all good to go at once.
