I may have over cooked? 

Defrosted what I thought was a pork butt, happy surprise it was a 2 bone ribeye roast that I wrapped the hell out of! It had some hard fat and some silver skin that I cut off and when I was done trimming I had 2 - 2 1/2-3'' steaks and a ribeye cap.


Also had some pork chops and since the Egg was hot I may as well cook them up too. Couple of sweet potatoes and cause I need my greens the Wife whipped up a spinach salad.

Smoked at 275* with some mesquite and peach till the internal temp was 120* on the steaks. Wrapped the sweet potatoes in foil, nothing else. Once I pulled the steaks I removed the plate setter and brought the temp up to finish the chops that I had put on earlier to get some smoke flavor. 

Here are the finished pics. I have left overs!!!

    Wow -- every bit of that looks wonderful!

    It's always nice to have human beings in pictures, and your lovely wife looks very happy with a great meal (and no doubt your company), but I'm sorry you didn't also take a picture with the cut side of the beef in focus, because it looks PERFECT, edge to edge wonderfulness!  Great job!

    Thank you.
    Forgot a pic. It rested and actually went a little more done than I had hoped but not too bad.
