Mine are New York Strips. Did you put the lid on or leave it off. I followed the link to your post and The Tomahawks look super. I have two thick one and one thin one ( my wife likes hers we'll done) my son and I are more civilized. How long until you got that medium rare?
I haven't worked up the courage to go caveman yet.
For the thicker cut steaks I hang them, close the lid and pull when IT hits at the doneness level I desire. For thinner cut steaks I place in on the grate with so lid on and sometimes lid off. Lid on sort of replicates a reverse sear approach and lid off is like direct sear. Either way they come out lovely!
