Stampede 2nd cook done...

[SmokingHokie]

Ok. I promise not to chronicle every cook from here on out but since my son brought home some thicc ribeyes from Lidl, I thought I'd try my hand at smoking them and then reverse searing on my gasser via grillgrates. Smoked them at 250 for just over an hour to 110* and then finished them off around 135*. Nice and tender and not heavily smoky. Used both probes to monitor the temps during first phase. Easy-peasy.

Looks good. I find it hard not to take pics and chronicle every cook if it comes out like that. Keep posting the pics and enjoy the grill.

Looks great. How was the flavor?

Nice smoky flavor but not overpowering. I used Traeger's Signature Blend but that's all I have right now.

I ordered Rec Tec pellets from Amazon but somehow got lost during delivery. Anyway, I didn’t want to wait so I used Pitboss hickory and I’ve been impressed with the smoke profile and the steady temps I’ve achieved.

Great cook @SmokingHokie, those steaks look awesome. Don’t apologize for posting cooks like that.

Those look fantastic.
Don’t hold out on us with the details and pics on your 3rd cook
