i'd think not. the lump charcoal he used was burning down to a brand new
(and "clean") ash. it hadn't been used in multiple barbecues and picked
up all their juices.

just crank your gas grill to maximum power - let it reach its highest
temperature (closed), and then cook the steak quickly on the grill (open
or closed, whatever works best for you).

(or buy an inexpensive charcoal grill for doing steaks)
