I was in the mood for a good steak and had the local butcher cut this one for me. He's a super nice guy and asked if he should "trim it up." I said "No" ..............he nodded in knowing approval.....

First, I prepped the beast...light salt and Cow Lick.

Got the Egg going and hung the CI Grid on the CGS Spider.....

    jack, that looks really good! I have to get a grid that size. all i have is an 8" one that I set directly on the coals. never quite large enough! nice cook!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    That's a good looking steak!!

    Funny, I got my spider/small CI grate & stoker within a few days of each other... and decided on pulled pork first. Kinda wish I had done a steak, after seeing yours ;D

    I got that one at my BGE dealer down the street. However, they are probably available through Tom at CGS, altho the shipping might be a few bucks because of the weight. But, without a dealer nearby, you're gonna pay shipping one way or another. The CIG is really worth it for the steaks and Tri Tips, IMHO. Not a necessity.....but nice.

    Looks good. So who is your butcher? I'm on the MS coast where we don't have one. I'd drive to NO for a good butcher.

    That is a great looking ribeye. I only have two cooks complete but that Spider setup may be something I need to look into. It looks like it lowers the grid lower to the coal bed, am I correct in this my rookie thought process? Thanks

    Hey Jack, Been my busy time.

    I love your disappearing trick I turn into Houdini every time I cook on the egg as well. Everything disappears. :woohoo: Keep up the great cooks. ;)

    Your rookie thought process is right on, Longrifle. Check out the Ceramic Grill Store......contact Tom .....he's a super nice guy....one of us.....tell him what you wanna do.....he usually has packages of gear that save you some bucks. I use the spider /CI grill for steaks, tri-tips, tuna, salmon......great way to go. Not expensive, either.

    looks great....

    how high do you go with the egg temp and how long...

    did rib-eyes tonite for the family and they were great but am always looking to improve...

    thanks for any help...

    I missed it last night but this morning that beauty would go perfect with couple eggs and a pile of hashbrowns.

    You're lucky to have a butcher. All have is the grocery store meat counters. thanks for sharing

    Wow -- that looks awesome! Just the doneness that I shoot for... I just got some beautiful 1.5" thick ribeyes from the butcher, so I'd greatly appreciate feedback on your procedure -- how long do you leave the steaks out prior to placing on BGE, what temp is the BGE when you put the steaks on, about how long are the steaks on each side, what temp is the meat when you pull it from the BGE, how long do you let the meat rest? Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks!

    Usually when I grill steaks or Tri-Tips, the temp floats somewhere between 400-450* dome......however, temp at the grid I think is much, much higher...how high, I don't know. I don't have a laser therm. I'd say that steak was on a total of about 23-25 minutes, flipping to keep the cook on each side even. A 5 minute rest once plated, then the enjoyment. Prep was light salt and Cow Lick rubbed in about 30 minutes before the steak hit the grid. When the Thermopen hit about 135-136, off she came. Didn't check, but I'm sure she hit the 140* mark by the time I dove in.

    Elzbth, thanks for the kind words. Hope all is well over in Mobile. Hope you ace your tenderloin today....I somehow suspect that you will. Take care.
