I cook T bones up from time to time the tough ones get set aside for a soak and cut up to make Breakfast taco's.

Smoked ribeye, deer sausage, t-bone and peppers. I used Apple wood...nice and mild. Turned out great.

"Blue" smoke or no visible smoke is what I try for. From my experience, when I have the right ballance of fuel/heat/oxygen and an ideal smoke for cooking the smoke out the chimney is blue. A cool fire or when building up before cooking my smoke is gererally white. As the fire gets hot and the oxygen/air vent is open the smoke dissipates and is not visible. If I close the vents on a hot fire with a lot of coals/wood (fuel) the smoke goes from blue or none to black/gray/greenish and the taste gets acrid and funky. I keep the chimney wide open, ballance the fuel and intake vents to maintain the desired temp, with minimal fuel and air intake. I work to get a small fire and build up so I have the right amount of fuel, air, and heat. When that happens the smoke out the stack is blueish, i then add fuel as needed to maintain temp. When grilling (high heat/short cook time) this is easy, for longer, (low-slow cooking) it requires more effort. Indirect heat, a separate grill to have hot coals on to add to the cooker, small fire etc. Fun stuff, enjoy!

Aaron, since you are going to be in the area why don't you slip across the river and see if Victoria's restaurant in Nuevo Laredo is still open. It was a nice place last time I was there.

In Texas that's just a short jaunt. About 12 hours from here to Laredo. I do need to get back down to Uvalde sometime soon.

They are more than happy to have you there. They even drive up and down the street in a mule drawn wagon asking "Do you want to go to boy's town?"
Next time I go to Hard 8 I need to get the smoked rib eye.

That place is amazing. Way too many choices and all of it is excellent.
Yep, which is why I’ve never had smoked rib eye yet. I don’t go often, so I tend to concentrate on bbq when I go.

I discovered them when the DFW airport closed for ice and I was stuck at a hotel up there.
Yeah, they came to this area a few years ago. I learned of them when passing through Stephenville (their first location) on the way to Fredericksburg, TX.
Couple of Petite Sirloins on the Traeger this afternoon. Hickory pellets, used the Traeger rub. Smoked them for 45 minutes before searing them. Sooo good. Couple of weeks ago I smoked ribeyes.
