Steaks have Bitter/Chemical-like taste from Kamado grill

Gents, I purchased the Visions Kamado grill from SAMs a week or so ago. Went and bought some dry aged ribeyes from Whole Foods. Salt and peppered them. Got the grill to 700 degrees. Cooked the steaks to perfection. Bit into them and they had a weird taste to them. Like a weird, bitter, chemically type taste. I used the organic lump charcoal from Whole Foods, had a seasoned cast iron grate, and followed the cooking directions to perfection. Anyone know what this could be?
Was I supposed to work my way up to 700 degrees over half a dozen grills or something? Different charcoal?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

How did you light the grill?

First time to build a fire in it? I so you may should have built a dummy fire before you cooked on it to burn all the new off.

So do you think im ok now since i did this first burn so hot? Or should i do another burn?
Alos, how long should i wait at 700 before i put steaks on? i definitely put them on the second it 700 degrees.... I'm such a rookie. the learning curve on this type of grill is pretty large.

Thanks guys!
Also, another laugh for you all.
In my infinite rookie wisdom, i pulled the steaks off and went inside, leaving the vents all wide open. When i went back outside about an hour later, the therm had passed 700 and was on its way back to 100. i completely melted the gaskets. so that was awesome....
got some more ordered to replace.

Like everyone else is saying, you were burning off the new funk on the inside

I have the same grill and I think it was putting the food on to early. The Kamado will jump up to temperature very fast when using a chimney but I let if burn about thirty minutes to get clean smoke before cooking.
You will know you have good smoke when the temp is right and smoke coming out the top is pretty clear. If its white or black smoke its not ready yet.
