    As long as you hit the finish-line temp the cow doesn't care how you get there.  Trust the force and the thermopen.  Give it a go-
    Cap, I can't get the Thermapen down in that fire.  My caveman cooks are by time and feel.  Just like you feel a steak on the grill, I do the same with my tongs.  Pretty reliable.

    Awesome cook!

    More importantly, what do you do with the trimmed part? Grind it up for burgers?

    Past two steak cooks I have seared caveman style. Love it and gives a great seared finished taste. Fantastic cook!!

    Best question of the night.  Three uses.  1.  Culled for lard.  2.  Ground into venison and 3. Used to grease a skillet.

    Prime ribeyes are the best. Caveman just rocks. Great results, delicious across the board.

    A caveman has been on my guy's night checklist. Have you ever reverse seared caveman Brent?  Most of my crew likes warm but rare. Wild game makes that a tough sell but may fair better with less fat on open flame. 
    I would do a modified T-Rex.  Caveman first then indirect to temp. You won't get the caveman crust doing that part second.

    @bgebrent -  glad you are proficient with the tongs.  I have some really good fire fighter gloves so as long as remember to wear 'em I'm good.  But you are right, approaching the lava burn w/o them is not gonna happen-at least more than once =)

    Great looking steaks. I've been on a low and slow bbq quest lately.
    I've got to get some steaks soon.

    Throw primes into the fire and don't look back!  About 6 minutes flipping every 2 and get the best steaks ever.

    Never done ribeyes. Thick Porterhouse, another story. A great way to prepare. Once you take the initial plunge, you are good to go forward as another piece of amo in the arisanal.
