Thoughts on my reverse sear procedure?

Greetings-
I received the half moon stone as a gift late last calendar year and came up with this procedure for reverse sear steak. I purchased the raised half grid and use them for the indirect cooking with the grid underneath so it can get to a good searing temperature. With the Egg at 400 degrees I cook the steaks to 120 degrees internal (1 flip at some point) . I then pull the steaks off, dry them, remove the half grid and half stone, get the Egg up to 650-700 and sear 2 minutes a side. Results have been pretty awesome since I have gotten better at holding the 400 degree initial temperature. These were served with grilled asparagus, grilled pineapple, capresi salad, and a delicious Chateau Montelena Zinfandel. Has anyone tried this procedure and/or any thoughts on how to improve? Thanks for looking
Cheers!

I have a similar half-moon setup that's never been used and has just been sitting out in my garage. Maybe I've just found an eggcellent use for it. Those steaks look great!

Looks dead right..Just a thought if you had a spider with a 13 inch grate. It would bring you closer to the coals..would it all fit?..Greensboro North Carolina
When in doubt Accelerate.... -
@ChrisgrillsSTLMO there are several ways to proceed with a reverse &/or CI pan/skillet sear. If this worked for you then roll with it.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

Great idea.....I also use an old pizza stone that was too big for my MBGE, simply cut it in half. I found you need to get some air around the stone or the fire will simply move to one side. Works very well for one or two steak sears on the medium.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!
