A few points. The heat gun at 923 was aimed at the outside of the chimney and varied, some spots hotter. When you aimed into the coals from the top, it went past 1000F instantly and just showed ---. I also used the end of my wood charcoal and they were mostly smaller bits and only filled halfway.

So here's what I'm thinking is the best way to go. Fill the chimney to the top with big chunks of hardwood charcoal. Let it get insanely hot. Go with John's Turbo Chimney. Maybe 1 minute to 1.5 minutes each side. I did 2 minutes and then 1.5. A better, thicker steak would be fine at 1 minute I think. If not, throw it in the oven at a real 425 for 2 minutes.

This was a crappy, cheap Trader Joe's steak. I'll try it with a nice cut from Whole Foods soon. Post if you try it.
