Props for taking the plunge. It does sound about as underwhelming as my results recently with SRF gold rib roasts and Umai dry bags. The steaks definitely cook quickly, and if you cook them like regular steaks you will get the texture and dryness issues.
Think I have my Pecos pretty dialed in with these mods:
-Lavalock baffle tuning plate
-12x6" double walled stove pipe for the stack
-Welding blanket over the cook chamber
-BBQ gasket on the cook chamber door edges
-water pan (1/6 pan half full)
-Telltru thermometer
I actually can walk away...
I brine mine using an Alton Brown recipe: 12 oz Kosher salt (~1.25 cups), 8 oz molasses (~3/4 c), 3 qt water. Brine 12-14 hrs and don't trim any fat. Also could try wrapping halfway through, finishing at higher temp, and resting until it's <140 deg in the center....several hours.
