I had the chance several years ago to cook some 1" round steaks to feed an oilfield drilling rig crew. I used a pit on a trailer from a friend that had a side firebox. I used Just mesquite wood to cook with and coated them with italian dressing and peppers. They had to cook for about three hours to get medium well, and super tender. I do not know if I can acchieve the same results with my WSM.
