[smoking b]

I was craving some steak so I figured I should involve my smoker

When the steaks were getting close to being done smoking I fired up the charcoal chimney & got the grill going. I raised the charcoal up so that it was right under the grates to get them as hot as possible. Once the steaks got to 105* I pulled them from the smoker & put them on the grill.

Here they are on the grill for a  quick sear on each side.

Off & taking a little rest.

While they were waiting I mashed some potatoes I had boiled.

Time to eat! 

  I cut the piece out of the first steak to show you the perfect color but somehow it was incredibly blurry

Very juicy! These steaks had a great flavor & were very tender - they never stood a chance once I tasted the first bite!

MMM!!! Smoked & seared over charcoal, or mesquite lump...that's got to be our favorite way to cook and eat smaller cuts of any kind, I think. It's the best of both worlds, IMHO. And a meat & smashed taters meal? I'm all over that!!! Looks like a winner dinner!!!

Thanks for the reminder (I don't seem to do this often enough lately, but I'm getting better).

Looks really Tasty Jeremy!

Now if you had a Mini-WSM you'd have a one stop smoker, searing machine! Love doing the reverse sear on the mini!

This is the best time of the year to snag them! Boats too just in case you need three or four of those

A silver will work fine for a mini won't it?

Certainly will! Both of mine are silvers. I did add side vents though. But even without the vents it will work. Look at my $5 Craigslist thread. That'll get you started. I would cut the full bottom out of the tamale pot and not bother with drilling a billion holes!
