re: Steaks have Bitter/Chemical-like taste from Kamado grill

Oily weird taste is VOCs from the fresh charcoal. Merely getting the temp to 700 doesn't mean you're ready to cook. Gotta wait until the thick white/black/grey smoke turns to "clear"....a barely visible, much cleaner smelling smoke. Odd flavors can also be caused by an abundance of burning fat dripping onto the coals and flaring up. This burnt grease flavor is more acrid than chemically, tho.

My guess would be this is what happened. It was my experience with my BGE. I started grilling chicken and it had a very harsh smoke flavor - kids called it "burnt-house" chicken.
My first rec in troubleshooting would be to ensure you've got a clean burn going with your charcoal.
As hungryone noted you'll get up to temp before you've got a clean burn going.
