Reverse Sear Christmas Ribeyes with ThermaPen

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!
I received the gift of my very own ThermaPen from my sweetie this Christmas and so I used it to help me reverse sear 4 of the most gorgeous USDA Prime Ribeyes you ever did see.
My only difficulty was I seemed to get higher temperatures when the meat was on the grill. Maybe I poked too far through the steak and got temp from the other side? I intended to pull them off at 115, when I checked about 35 minutes into reverse sear they were 120-130, but in the resting pan they were 95. I also had temp variation through the steaks. I seared them 3 minutes a side and then 1 minute more per side at 600 degrees. They turned out very nice, but, just like when I cook with a probe, I seem to chase temps instead of just going by feel. (I'm getting over a cold so I didn't want to go poking people's steak with my finger!).
Well - I hope all you who celebrate had a nice Christmas. Here are the pics-

Yeah, winning!
temp them horizontally through the side. Use your tings if necessary to hold the steak for insertion. Looks perfect to me though. -

However you got there is all that counts. Way to do those beauties proud. Great cook.
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint. -
The the only thing I would add to what pgprescott said above is to make sure you aren’t hitting a pocket of fat with the tip end of the probe
If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
