Webber and hardwood charcoal, no lighter fluid. Tube pre and SS amp. For added flavor try marinating a steak in a good high alochol 9% plus Imperial Stout or Old Ale for about 6-8 hours before cooking. Or try using a good strong IPA with some chicken. For a great inexpensive steak try a Chuckeye Center Eye Steak ask your butcher, pretty much a Ribeye for half the price.
