Here's the roast right before it went on the grill:




Here it is went it went on.  It went on at 225 grate temp.  I used some Jack Daniels chips, indirect.  



I used a DIGIQ on ramp mode to 140.  I pulled it at 135.  This took 4.25 hours to hit 135 in ramp mode.  I noted it hit 125 after 2 hours.  Ramp mode kicked in and it took another 2.25 hours to hit 135.  



Exterior seemed pretty hard.  I wanted to see what a sear would do to it.  I seared at 500 direct for 1 minute per side.  And the last side was the fat cap on top and that only went 30 seconds when flare up kicked in.



Here's the finished product.  It was too 'rare' for everybody except myself and my brother.  As expected.  I had the cast iron ready to go to give a nice sear on each side for everyone else.  Literally a minute a side to take the pink away and it was still the same color inside and they were fine with it.  Pretty funny.

This was worth every penny.  So tender.  My dad said it very tender and juicy.  So good he didn't need any au jus.  My mom said it was better than any filet she's had in a nice restaurant.  That's good I guess?  Really everyone raved about it.  Even the wife and kids loved it.  I would order this again in a heartbeat.  Single piece on the plate is the end.  That's what I ate.

Great cook! Mine cooked up fantastic as well. 

Cooked to 118 and tossed in the yeti for 30-40 min. 123 or so when I put on at 700 for a quick sear. 

Looked like a murder scene and everyone gobbled it up.

Great job! I'm with you on the rare part. Luckily, all my family is also in the rare camp. Sure makes things easier.

Man that looks like butter!!!  I bet that fat just melted away when you ate it!!!  Me and the ole lady like ours bloody but the kids want it well done so breaking the case iron out was a smart move!!!  Great cook!
