Doing 9 2-in thick T-Bones on a buddies Green Egg this eveing. Will be my first time on a ceramic. Don’t want to screw up $200 in steaks. What temp do I bring it up too? About how long with one flip for medium rare? I forgot my internal temp gauge Any other tips?

I don't cook steaks on a Egg but my Dad does. I can tell you that if this is your first time you probably wont get it right. Them suckers get HOT quick! Dad has some sort of ceramic deflector that goes in his Egg so you can cook with the heat but not directly on the fire which chars it way to fast.
Good luck but don't kick yourself to bad if you screw it up. There is a learning curve to using those things.

I know nothing about the ceramic/egg things but I'd just underestimate the time like crazy and go ahead and cut in and look when you're wondering. Only way to learn. Better to take it off and have to put it back on 'cause you can't uncook 'em.

Long tongs

I have never cooked a 2” tbone on mine so I can’t be of much help
Filets I do between 550 ish 1 3/4” for about 2-230 a side

Be sure to burp the egg at those high temps.
I cook direct heat

This has been working for me Bring it up 650-700 then close vents almost closed 2 1/2 minutes for a regular size steak 11/4- 11/2 med rare for me You'll be cooking a lot of steaks once you get the hang of it

It’s gonna be hard your first time. Reverse sear might be the easiest if you have an external thermometer. Light egg and get it stabile at 250 to 275. Your temp will have to get to about 325 initially then adjust your vents to slightly open and you should hover around 250-275. Take steaks to about 115 internal temp and then take them off the grill. Forgot to say you’ll need to use the place setter so this is indirect heat. So remove the steaks and placesetter and open vent on bottom and remove the draft thing on top so that it gets as much airflow as possible. The grill will get to about 650-700 in about 7-10 mins. Once it does burp the grill so you don’t burn yourself then put steaks back on for about 1.5 mins per side. Now you have perfect wonderful med rare steaks. Good luck.

Learn to check your steak by feel. Also use the reverse sear if you are worried about over cooking. How did it turn out? Steak touch test

I have best results by duplicating my cook exactly the same every time. I like 450 degrees on the cast iron grate cooking for 4 minutes flip and 3 minutes for a perfect seared medium rare ribeye steak. Thirty seconds longer and you might as well feed it to the dog.
