I should apologize for the quality of pics, but the purpose here is to spread the gospel on a fuel induced Friday for the thick steak, (around 2 1/4 "Costco prime tomahawk ) reverse sear caveman finish:
Reverse seared to around 115*F-then full open the bottom vent and the dome.
Get a good quantity of lava flowing and go;
flip after around 45-60 sec to a different section of lava (hosed that pic) and then off for a banquet;
Armed with long tongs, a quick read thermo and an appetite.
Thanks for lookin'

@KennyCJR - right on the coals. Reverse sear til within a couple of degrees of your desired finish temp then straight on to the lava lump for the carmelized finish. Temp may rise 3-5 *f with the caveman process but you can't beat the crust formation. The reverse sear caveman works best with thick (> around 1 1/4-1 /1/2"). If thinner then skip the reverse sear and straight to the lump altar. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

looks delicious, even through the lens of your 1998 vintage digital camera.
I would add to your excellent narrative, this is a good time to put at least one fire resistant gloves on.______________________________________________I love lamp.. -

This is precisely what i wanted to do when I first got my LBGE, but as yet haven't. Tomahawks are harder to come by over here, but - I'll give it a spin with a rib-eye next time Marks and Spencer run a deal on extra thick ones.Other girls may try to take me away
But you know, it's by your side I will stay -
Love it!=======================================
