I absolutely love my Q320. It's the perfect solution when I don't have a lot of time but still have an urge to grill something. (look at all the room, even with my veggie basket, and two big steaks there is still plenty of grill surface!)
I picked up some nice sirloin and sliced shrooms at the store yesterday. I seasoned mine with Montreal Steak seasoning after the sear because I've found that if I do it before the sear, most if it ends up stuck on the grates. My wife's I seasoned just with kosher salt and a little pepper.
The shoorms were marinated in red wine vinegar, woosty sauce, and about 1tsp of Goya Adobo seasoning.
I also threw on the heavenly onion ala Bryan, I put it on the grill during pre-heat and left it on while the steaks rested so it had enough time to soften and caramelize -- simply delicious.
Ken, nice pic. Could that be a head of garlic in the foil to spread on a sliced and lightly grilled baguette? That's one of my favorite things. Also I'm still getting the hang of my Q320, could you give some suggestions on grill temps, burner settings, indirect vs. direct and total cook time for medium doneness?

Kurt, the object in the foil is a lovely white onion that you slice the top off, scoop out the center, then add 1tsp of beef granules and a big pat of butter. When it cooks down it becomes no soft and beefy and sweet.
With regard to settings(for direct high heat cooking) After the pre-heat I turn the knobs down to 2-3 marks below the start setting. As far as how long it took to get to medium on the steaks I really don't go by time, just the feel of the meat so I'm not sure how long it took with these, they weren't that thick so it was probably 5 minutes per side for medium rare...so a couple more minutes for medium probably.
For indirect here is the setup I use that was 1st put forward by Phil Hartcher in the Q forum on this site.
