A 'doneness' tip that I think I've mentioned around here before:
If you make an 'okay' sign by lightly touching your pointer finger to the tip of your thumb, the 'firmness' in that fleshy area at the base of your thumb is about how firm a medium-rare steak will be.
If you're looking for medium, press your middle finger to your thumb and touch the fleshy area at the base of the thumb; same story - that's about as firm as a medium steak will be. If you're looking for anything above that - **** you. Just drop it in the coals and walk away.
This is by no means a foolproof method, but if you're cooking over an inconsistent fire or don't have a good instant read handy, this will do in a pinch. Don't 'press' the fingers together, just touch the ends.
