Hey guys I love the reverse sear steaks but Ive got a question, Ive got a couple of 3/4 inch steaks and a couple monster 2 1/2 inches. I smoke them to an IT of about 115 and then sear them. Comes out great but Ive never cooked  anything with such a size deference. Im looking for some advice. Im wondering, if I toss the big ones on first, at what IT should I toss the little ones on to get them to come off at the same time?
 
Your guess would be as good as mine. 

I don't do ribeyes on the smoker, but I do tri tips, a steak-like sirloin, cut like a roast.  Once smoked, I do a reverse sear.  On average the thickest part is about 2 to 2 1/2 inches.  I just did one this past weekend so it is fresh in my mind.  In a 225F smoker, the tri tip takes about an hour to an hour ten to get to 115F. 

Hope that helps.
