At what temp do you pull your steak?
I pull mine at around 120 or so. What do you guys pull yours at?

Warm. 115-120.
The wife was was in your wife's camp, but she's an adventurous eater so conversion was easy. I have one sone who will eat rare-med rare and one who freaks out if it bleeds on his plate. My in laws are firmly in the shoe leather camp, but I refuse to ruin the steak and serve them just north of med. They are coming around because they like my steaks. -
Depends. The standard 3/4 - 1" steak cooked direct,I pull at about 120-122. If a 2" monster, 116, a good rest rest, and reverse sear via a small grate resting on the coals.

Both of you guys sound like you are doing it about like me. I just wasn't sure what most of you were doing.
Jason I also serve my in laws steak a lot. I cook most of them my normal way and a few a cook to a little higher temp.
I noticed they don't complain and ask for them often!

@Fred19Flintstone my dad has embarrassed the family on more than one occasion with that line at a steakhouse.

Our steaks are usually hand-cut ribeyes at 1-3/4" thick. I put them on when temp is stable at 500 degrees. Two quick flips to get nice grill marks on the original side down and pull them at 115 degrees. They rest for 10 minutes before we eat. Perfect for us every time.

Husker, if you're talking to me... yes. We buy the whole ribeye in cryovac and trim and slice ourselves. We then quickly chill in the freezer on cookie sheets for about an hour and then vacuum seal them individually for freezing.

I don't thermo my steaks. Usually if we're eating steak, I'm drinking too... so it's more like Russian roulette whether they're rare or shoe leather.Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

Anymore, I use a reverse sear. Cook indirect at 300 or so until the steak reaches 115 degrees. Pull and foil the steak. Open up the vents until the temp approaches 500. Cook direct at two minutes on each side. This will give you a perfect medium rare.

Caveman super quick flipping 4-5 times and pull. I even got the wife to admit she doesnt like it more than mid rare any more.Columbus, Ohio--A Gasser filled with Matchlight and an Ugly Drum.

I have found my target is about 130. Still medium rare, but no "cold spots". I don't care for the texture if it is too rare in the center.

Never really do anything thicker than 1 1/2"- 1 3/4". Last time I had a bit thicker one so I decided I would cook it the same as I always do. Flipping every two minutes. It came out great!!! I would have to say this is better than roasting it to a certain temp, then searing. Of course I use my thermopen so I know when it's at 120* and ready to pull.

I guess I'm either in the wrong camp or doing it wrong but I have never ~ never probed my steaks for int. temp or doneness...even back in the day when I was a gasser :( always did by time / temp / look... my favorite way now of course is the 600-700 deg. cook on the egg turning once at 5 mins. cook another 5 mins. then close draft door put cap on and let the steaks sit for another 4-5 mins ....serve and eat
Are they always perfect no because we of course by different cuts and thicknesses but most or majority of the time this method works to almost perfection

So dumb question here, how many degrees does a steak go up after you pull it? 115 seems pretty rare, does it creep up 5 degrees or so? Have 4 bad ass ribeyes to cook this weekend and plan on indirect for a bit, pulling and then getting it as high as it goes for some final touches but we like medium rare-ish.Firing up the BGE in Covington, GA

I'm a mid-rare guy so I pull between 118-120 then rest.

-Indirect cook- 300 degrees or less.
-Pull the steaks when they are about 5 degrees less than my target finish.
-Let the steaks rest while the egg heats up- make sure the IT has stopped climbing (10 minutes or so).
-If possible- keep the dome open during the sear. Sometimes the flames get out of control so you have to close the egg. A CI skillet or griddle works great for the sear.
You have to be careful with the reverse sear not to overshoot the temp during the sear. If you have the egg at 600+ degrees and you cook with the dome closed they are basically in a 600 degree oven and the IT will climb fast. The nice thing about using CI is you really don't have to run the egg that hot to get a good sear. 500 degrees is plenty as long as you give it time to heat up.

Depends on the steak.for ribeye, I prefer rare-medium rare so I reverse sear to 115-120. The sear gets it to 125ish.
For a filet, 90. -

About 118 and a good rest. This assumes that it is a relatively thick steak....which is what i normally purchase. If large steak, wife and i split it. We both like our steak on the rare to med rare side of things. While resting.....it provides a good opportunity for roasting the fresh asparagus (w/ a little olo and Montreal) for to accompany our favorite dinner.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

strip 122, but i like ribeye up around 127ish. the big difference though is resting on a rack verse a plate, the plate sucks all the juices out. prefer trex over reverse sear

I've drifted away from using the egg for reverse sear. it's a hassle to get the egg to temp, set up plate setter, cook for 30 minutes or so, then take the PS out etc. also i'm not crazy about the flavor the steak picks up before the sear.
last steak i cooked was a filet out of the freezer. redneck hottub in 110-115 degree water while the egg was started and came to temp, then sear the sucker. I pull at 125 for me, 130 for wife. (Though any steak less than an inch it's easier for me to check by pushing and checking how squishy/firm it is)Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle -
