But I know if you get something like a Big Green Egg you can get absolutely crazy high temperatures which are great for grilling a steak.
You don't want them too high though, or they can char. You want a nice dark brown sear on the outside of your steaks, to give it a sweet flavor. You don't want a black char. At higher temperatures you need to be careful and watch your meat more closely. It's also difficult to get thicker cuts past medium-rare at higher temperatures.
