    Newbie cooking a NY strip on an Ironwood 885

    Hi everyone. Newbie cooking a NY strip on an Traeger Grills Ironwood 885 Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker. It came out disappointing. I cranked it up to 500° and set the steak down 8ish min per side. Floppy, no char nor grill marks. Does this get better with time or am I doing it wrong?
