[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2984820, member: 3099"] I may try the chill, smoke, and grill method. But I fail to see it being worth a lot of effort or time. Another trick that gives me this opinion is the way and what I use for a grill. Lump charcoal is seriously another animal compared to briquets. I just finished a T-bone that went straight from the water bath to the glowing hot coals and honestly can't see a lot of room for improvement. I keep it simple, some Montreal steak seasoning, and minced garlic. Maybe a touch of Lawry's seasoned salt too depending on my mood before vacuuming. 1.5 hours later I fire up the grill so I'm probably at 2 hours in the sous vide. I have a Big Green Egg but a Weber kettle grill will burn lump just fine. It's probably a better setup for indirect on this particular cook too. I have a time lag going from low and slow to roaring, it's not long but still there. Stay away from Cowboy brand lump. It's crap. Royal Oak is the best deal going and it's the same exact coal as Big Green Egg sells at less than 1/2 the price. [/QUOTE]
