Steaks on the FE

Former Member

Greetings gang!

Can anyone tell me about grilling steaks on the bottom shelf of the FE-100? I'm concerned about whether I can get my cooker hot enough to properly cook a thick steak. I'd love to hear some of your experiences. Please include what cut you cooked if you can. Thnx!

Rod,
we have become big FE steak fans. Use 1 to 1 1/2 inch ribeyes. 45 minutes on smoke. Crank the temp. Up to 45 more minutes depending on the degree of doneness desired. Even if the center is not pink, the steak remains juicy.

Fred,

Thnx for the response. So, it can take up to 1.5 hours to cooks steaks? I'm used to 12 - 20 minutes. That's going to take some getting used to for me. My goal is medium rare. Medium at the most. I'll give it a try!

I have cooked them a couple of times. The way I do it is to run the temp wide open put the steaks on the bottom rack on an iron skillet.
With 1 1/2 inch thick fillet mignon (sp) it takes
about 15-25 minuets depending on how done you want them. It is very easy!

The cast iron skillet is a great idea. I will give that a try. Thnx!
