I smoked a Tomahawk Ribeye & corn. This was my first attempt at both of these.

My WSM was between 215 & 225 throughout the cook. The steak & corn came out great for a first attempt. Once it reached an internal temp of 140, I seared it on a hot grill for 90 seconds on each side. I probably could have pulled it off the smoker around 130 internal temp so I could have left it on the grill longer for better sear markings. It came off the grill with an internal temp of 143, & I let it sit for 30 minutes before cutting it.

That looks incredible. Top marks. You know you can remove the center section of your WSM, put the grill grate on top of the charcoal basket and sear that way. No need for a second grill.

Looks good from here . All depends how you like your steak , but if I smoke then sear , I pull at 120 . I've used my charcoal starter with a piece of expanded metal over the top .
 
The pictures on my screen are flashing tasty vittles, tasty vittles. Well done.

Point for sure.
