Got those Rainy Day Cheap Ribeye Blues

It been rainin' Hammerhandles and Pitchforks here since last night. I wanted to try my first attempt at smokin' Tri-Tip on the WSM. Butt No! Had to go with Plan B.

The Wife (aka. Pork Puller) came home with these poorly marbled bone-in ribeyes that were originally tagged @ $30! and marked down to $12.

A big tip for anyone who does not know is to take a butter knife and scrap the steak perpendicular on both sides with a butter knife to remove bone sinew and such from the meat saw. Notice the residue at the bottom left of the pan :

I used Mike's Award winning rub on these (I'm not that Mike). :

Close to room temp and the rub and meat are becoming one:

While the Mighty Weber Spirit S-320 gasser is coming up to temp (550* F.) Why not preheat and take another pic? :

First turn after rotate:

Almost there! Going for approx. 135* F. with the Mighty Thermapen :

That's a new one on me. Sounds worse than catz'n dogs.
You've really elevated an ok steak to a higher level. Beautiful. Would love to have seen (or eaten) the Chili Rellenos.

Terrific cook Mike!

btw, around here we call it bone dust. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yes Bob, I've left it on before I knew better and the meat takes on an almost grey color as it cooks. Can taste the difference too.

Thanks to all for the replies.
