Here's a review I did for InkBird. Opened up a new way for us and Beef. Have not done chicken yet.

Yeah I was wondering about that. I ended up Otto’ing the ribeyes last night and due to the short cook time was worried that fat would be inedible. Surprisingly it was rendered pretty well.

Respectfully disagree. There are ways to hit it just right with Sous Vide.

Well, being we’re a filet family, that’s fine by me :)

Had to edit post #33 to get the right vid in about bone in-bone out.

SALT,SEAR,remove from heat,REST( several minutes),SEASON, ROAST,to desired internal temp.Best method I have tried.For the sear,I like screaming hot coals or an old cast iron vessel.I am NOT a fan of REVERSE SEAR.Salt is the only seasoning that will not burn.

Another method for a group just standing around grazing is to salt,sear,rest,roast.Then put some EVOO,and other spices and herbs on a cutting board.Place steak on top of oil and seasoning ,cut into bite size pieces and toss with oil mixture.Drink COLD BEER,eat steak and visit.

Indirect/Reverse sear, with the final sear over and very close to hot coals.

Your preferred method is my preferred. I have done a lot of reverse searing, but I tend to get more consistent results w/ the forward sear.

Otto Wilde has not disappointed! It's a great compliment to the MAK and now I no longer have to wait for the grill to reach searing temp after a reverse sear cook. Dinner time is more predictable and I have a lesser chance of overcooking the food. If MAK would come out with an OFB option (in lieu of the cold smoker box) it would be a killer combo.
