Has anyone tried to smoke any steaks? What has worked for you? What has failed? What kind of seasoning did you use? Can anyone recommend wood flavors and recipes?
Thanks

Curious how long you smoked the tri-tips before the sear? I like steak medium, so I wouldn't want to over-do the time in the smoker. Also, what's the "lowest temp setting" that will produce smoke? I thought you had to have it set around 160 to get the wood hot enough to smoke. Any thoughts on this? I love tri-tips, and would really like to hear more on these! Dry rub/seasoning? Marinade?
DivotMaker said:Jerz, I think you'll be pretty rare at 112. For medium, you might try pulling at about 130, then a quick sear on the grill to an internal of about 138-140. That's what I'd try....no guarantees, though - never cooked one like that myself. :-[
Smokster said:Now you got my attention. I have to try steak in the smoker. How much wood would you use for steak? Personally I wouldn't go more than 2 oz, but I am thinking maybe that may be too much for a short smoke.
Jerz said:So... what about 1inch bone in pork chops? Just turn all the way up until an internal temp of 145? I have some homemade tater salad in the fridge... was figurin' for a down and dirty weeknight meal smoked pork chops and tater slad... I'm in no hurry just enjoying a few brews on the porch while the smokin-it does its thing.
