Good lord.

Pepper & seasoned salt, that's it.
And chopped up an old peach tree & smoked the living daylights out of it.
Perfection.

What are you smoking. I think I can make out 2 steaks (one center and one to the left of it).

I pile my charcoal up against the opposite side of the grill that I cook on for dark skin chicken. The indirect heat cooks thoroughly, but there are absolutely zero flare ups. I may finish directly over the coals if I want some char, but completely unnecessary.
That's pro shit.

I had some old coals to utilize, then had to feathered in the doused peach wood.
Sometimes I'll spread a circle, other times I'll put 'Tussin on it.

I haven't thought of putting it on one side. I usually load the middle with charcoal and make a circle of meat around it for the same reason. When it comes time to char (completely necessary), they get moved to the middle

2 zone cooking is the best way for indirect. What you're describing above is almost a vortex. More room for error, imo.

Throwing them all up along one side is basically the same thing as the Slow N Sear, but without the fancy gadget. Works for reverse seared steaks, fish, whatever.

We need more game grillin action in here. Slap a backstrap on the smoker why don't you?
