In the past when griliing steaks I used to primarily cook them medium well to well. Today I decided to take the advice from a few resident ATOT steak experts and went with medium rare, after eating the first one I've decided never to cook them well done again. The meat is so juicy and flavorful and that's referring to the one I cooked without sauce, I can't wait to try the one I brushed with hickory bbq sauce.

Don't use BBQ sauce on steak, that's a crime against nature.

If he likes it then who cares? It's his steak but eating cow cooked any more than medium rare is a crime against nature.
The only reason people get them medium well is because they have this idea burned into their minds that raw meat = germs, bad, gross, etc. I used to be that way a a kid, would go out of my way not to touch meat while preparing it etc. Once you get that out of your head you can enjoy steak. See raw meat as yum, be a carnivore, take a bite.

I grill all my steaks to about medium, occassionally medium well by accident. Not because I'm scared of bacteria, but because the extra couple minutes gives the steak an excellent smoky/grilled taste. Anything less and I don't get that nice darker grilled look.
I definitely stick to medium rare if I'm cooking inside on the cast iron skillet. I just can't get that kind of searing heat outside on my charcoal grill.

I know that a hotter grill would give me the same result, but I'm not willing to spend the money. I grill a couple times a week and cook steak maybe once a month. Not really worth it. Besides, I love my cheapie Weber charcoal grill.
You can still get a super hot grill - just use more fuel. A layer of briquettes 2-3 deep and will be scorching hot.
Not to distract but I had my standby weber for ages and picked up a new one for 150 bucks. Worth every penny. But you still don't need a new grill, what you need is more fuel and plenty of air.
Congrats! I used to eat only well-done beef when I was younger because I feared the bacteria. Eventually, I gave medium rare a shot and I looked back. I made kebabs using beef chuck short ribs recently on a charcoal grill - thick 1.5in cubes. They were the juiciest beef I've ever eaten.
A while back, I went to a pricey restaurant which served family-style/sharing portions. We ordered steak, but one person there refused to eat anything but well-done steak. Everyone else wanted medium rare, but were OK with well-done to satisfy the odd man out. What a waste.
