Skirt steak for fajitas!

[jmo bbq]

I have always bought full skirts when I cook fajitas. I trim off the fat and silver skin, add some fajita seasoning and always direct grill them and add some wood chunks to the coals. But now that I have a MES 30, I was wondering if I should just smoke them the whole cook, or smoke them for an hour or so then direct grill them. Kinda cautious with the meat itself being pretty thin that it might turn into jerky if left in the smoker for the entire cook. Any suggestions?

JMO, morning....  the skirt stead would do well either way.... you could smoke it to 200 ish and it would be tender, or light smoke and sear on the grill.....  Dave

JMO, I think that DaveOmak is correct.  I normally smoke with pecan and then finish on the propane grill to get a little more crispness that the home boss

 prefers.  Never any leftovers.

Either way GOOD LUCK!

Yeah it sure was. Our neighbor down the road just lost her mother and decided to take some down for them, plus we ate on them the same night. Tonight we are using the leftovers in steak rancheros! (Spicy)! Lay it over a bed of white rice and sour cream. Good eating.
