Do you also like getting caught in the rain?
Does anyone know if someone manufactures a combo gas/charcoal grill? I mean, sometimes I just want to flip it up, grill something up and eat, and sometimes I want to take the time to make an awesome charcoal grilled steak..

Is it just me or does nobody even make a decent gas grill anymore unless you spend a grand or more on the over-sized stainless models?

For me, the trick is HOT, HOT, HOT. I have a LP gas grill, which is not ideal... Charcoal is better for home use, and restaurants tend to use high heat professional LP or NG grills.
I do not oil the steak, but, rather oil the grill BEFORE heating it to reduce troublesome sticking. (Actually, most sticking on grills is due to impatient chefs..), and then simply cover the steak with a nice sea salt & fresh cracked pepper crust before grilling.
1-2 mins, then a 90 degree turn. One flip and a finish on the other side.
The only other tip I can offer besides a hot grill is letting the steak warm to room temp before it hits the grill.

Also, your advice about letting the raw meat up to room temp. is perfect! If the inside is cold and the outside is getting seared, guess what, bad steak.
Wife and I both like med-rare, this is the only way to go...I do this with any meat that goes on the grill, just a good 30 minutes, I usually take it out just before I start getting the charcoal ready.
but I prefer to smoke meats...nothing like pulled pork NC style! Or a 14 hr brisket...I think I'm going to have to do one Sunday after reading this thread, we're already having steaks Saturday night
but some of the best advice I've gotten is to write stuff down, it sucks if you cook that perfect steak, have a few drinks and then can't remember exactly what you did to get it there!

I have no experience with it.

I'm also not familiar with the phrase "caught in the rain."
