I recently read a post on another site where they took some ribeye steaks and used a Traeger smoker to cook them. With just some light seasoning on both sides they smoked (cooked) them for 15-20 mins @ 450* to an internal temp of 150*.
I have read a number of threads in this forum where members have smoked the steaks for about an hour or longer to an internal temp of 135* and then throw them on a grill for just a few minutes.
My main concern is how much smoke flavor would the steaks get in only 15-20 mins? Plus I feel they should come off the smoker at 135* so you don't over cook them on the grill.
Would appreciate you comments and suggestions on this faster cooking/smoking method.
