'Big K' sharkhole briquettes from Waitrose -
not the 'pre-soaked' type!
Plus a firelighter and some gloop to get it started - burns off in about 5-10 min. Then the fire is ready after about 30 min from time of ignition.

I have a bag of wood chips bought years and years ago; soak a few for a couple of minutes and throw on the True Fuel and they impart a smoky taste. But you don't need many - first experiment had the garden and most of the local area IMC after a few minutes.....
Rib-eye sounds good, jindabyne! I'm not into that 'wipe it's arse and walk it past the fire' macho nonsense of rare meat though - I prefer a good steak to be like a woman. Lightly tanned on the outside, moist and pink in the middle but with no signs of blood..
