Weber Summit Charcoal - Kamado E6 - how are you grilling steaks?

[TimA]

About how much charcoal do you put in the bottom when you're running like this? Half a full size chimney or so?

I more often than not just fill the void of the grate in low position up to the upper outer ring and hit the propane ignition and let ‘er eat. I also stir the coals to knock off ash, pile them where ignition assist is and just relight. Can do that a couple times before refilling entirely.

On temp control, I have to have both lower and upper vents choked off, sometimes almost entirely (maybe 1/8 open?). Otherwise temps jump and she churns out some heat!

I would never run any vents wide open. I don’t on my kettles either

Regardless of how you do it, these would come out great! I found these at Costco when digging thru the Choice NY steaks. Marbled Prime-like.

So much good and different ideas, on cooking steaks, and all make me want try each one as many could be used for many types of meat, and seafood. This is why I love this site.
Keep on cooking, and I am so jealous of your E6 I love it.

interesting flat cooking ring. material, manufacturer, any feedback/thoughts on it?

The steel ring was made by a local company here in Manitoba called Atlas Steel Co. (I have no affiliation.) I really like it. You can still cook indirect but it gets hot enough that I can use it as a griddle as well.
