Don't want to steam the meat, though. Dry heat!

Shaun, try this next time. Use foil to seal up the holes on the bottom of the chimney starter, except for one side. Get the starter lit and going well. Aim a blow dryer at the remaining holes on the bottom of the starter. There will be an initial cloud of ash blown out (eye protection is advised), then there will be a jet of white hot flame coming from the top of the chimney. It will look just like when the Top Gun F14s go to afterburner. Place steak on that and enjoy!. Cuts cooking time by 50%. Hope you like your steak super seared and super rare.
