I'm going to cook a tomahawk ribeye tomorrow for dinner , I have a large BGE and I have a sous vide. Would I be best off putting that in the sous vide for 3 hours or so then tossing on the 600 degree egg or just cooking it start to finish on the egg?

    As above, I cooked indirect at around 250 to an internal of ~120°, pulled off platesetter, let temp come up to 500° and seared about 1 min per side. Very nice!

    Here would be my decision process: If you have complete control of the finish time and you can eat whenever the meat is done I would go with a reverse sear. I think that produces the absolute best product. If you need “wiggle room” at the finish - if you may eat later than your target time (family outing/playing yard games/talking and drinking) then sous vide is the way to go. You can throw it in the sous vide at noon and let it roll until you want to sear it. Either method will give you a fantastic meal that will wow your guests.

    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    I cook these all the time. I do a reverse sear cooking low @~225 which will take 45-60 min. if coming from the fridge, then pull and get coals going for the sear which I do @ high temp flipping every 30 seconds until done to my liking.

    I’m in the caveman for the finish club.  I pull it off the grill when it gets to the 105 range and then toss it down in the fire.  Here are a few picks of the last one.
