    Spectacular.  Great cook.  I've never done it as a roast like that before.  I usually cut it into 3 or 4 steaks.

    Nice. Good and rare. I know there was joy found at your table. 

    I did one similar method (minus the wood) unfortunately on a gas grill while on vacation. I have a second put away for a proper skewering at a date to be determined. What I did get out of it was a great flavorful beefy taste and  like yours, the fat cap was like candy.

    @briwald - exceptional cook right there.  The cutting board $$ shot says it all.
