It came out pretty rare, and I let it go 45 seconds on each side. I'm thinking a good 2 minutes (or maybe more) would have been better. Maybe Alton Brown's coals ranked a half-Mississippi level of hotness.
I recall him saying 1700 degrees (got to be Farenheit).
But, who knows. That video didn't show red-hot coals......

I'd guess my grill was at 6 to 700 degrees.
