I picked up a 40 pound bag of Nature-Glo lump from Berger Brothers in Chicago. I've never cooked with lump before. I believe it's rebranded Royal Oak.
Getting it started on the performer. Wow, it lights so much quicker than briquettes...just gotta turn the propane on for a couple minutes.
Dominick's advertised USDA Choice Top Sirloin on sale for $2.99/lb. At that price, I couldn't resist.
I've been wanting to purchase the CIG, but I couldn't afford it at this time. Instead, I purchased a Steven Raichlen Cast Iron Tuscan Grill from Amazon for like $30. I supported it over the lit charcoal with a couple bricks. The grate came with four legs, but I couldn't find them for this cook. Excuse the leftover briquettes from the other day.
After 5-10 minutes of warming up, I added a couple sirloin steaks. These grates provide some mean grill marks!
That was an awesome steak! This might be my new favorite grill-at-home steak. Definitely worth the price I paid.
Criticism welcomed.
