This thread has basically morphed into "look what I put in my smoker", and I am here for all of it.

Got a prime rib roast in the pipe, gonna hit the smoker about noon. :cool:

I didn’t take a photo before I started eating.. but then this turned out to be the best steak I have ever made, so I took a photo.
I also had to take a secret photo so that my wife and kids didn’t see. Don’t want them thinking I was Instagramming food.

We dropped off some eggs at a neighbors house and they returned the favor with a fresh load of sourdough bread, so that was a good fit with the steak.

So what’s the secret to the best steak you’ve ever made?

I don't know. Attempts 2 & 3 were not as awesome. Still good, but not excellent.

However, attempts 2 & 3 were also while doing other things that kept me distracted, so I over cooked them.

I kept the bbq cooler than usual, thinking I'd get a slower cook.. Threw the steak on the grates for a couple minuets on each side to get the lines, then cooked it the rest on a griddle inside the bbq. It still seared on both sides when on the griddle.. but cooked more consistent and slow. The fat was smooth and flavor full, the meat was soft. I used less seasoning than usual.

I will try again and report back.

I can only speak for myself, but start with a good ribeye. Dry age it with a little salt. In the smoker at low heat, until internal temp of the steak gets around 100-105. Finish in a dry cast iron skillet so hot it'll melt one of Cody's pie irons. I like to throw a little butter on top right at the end, and I season with Tony C's or montreal seasoning once it's on the plate.
 

UNSTUCK

But stuck more often.
I love my Signals thermometer.

Easy to see the stall starting to happen with this pork. Now I can either turn the heat up or let it ride. I have plenty of time to let it ride today which is when the magic happens.
And yes, I did put it on at 130 this morning.

I absolutely love my signals! I used to be pretty good about naming each file so it was easy to reference them on future cooks.

While in Texas last week we tried some "famous" Texas bbq and I realize I don't love the Texas style sauce. I think it was vinegar based? Anyway I was underwhelmed. Jay5.9L's ribs look way better!
