it is your steak and you will find what you like the best as you experiment ;D For me, i have become increasing fond of Oak. Mild and middle of the road flavor. ;) Works well with a lot of stuff. 8)
thx man! i just never made steak yet and one of my friend wants it for his birthay since i spoke about my bradley for so long he wants to try it this way.
I think the smoke flavor gets better with an overnight rest sealed up tightly in the fridge. Seems to enhance the flavor. Especially when doing a PR. ;D
like i said never tried but it makes sens take exemple the cheese thats what we recommende. more than a night of couse but that seems to be the same principe.
A reminder to use ice in your water bowl. I smoked some salmon a week ago and had a tough time keeping the smoke temp down w/ only the bisquette burner on.

I beleive your on the $$ there WCK

Now when we do a strip steak or T-Bone or porterhouse, we pre-smoke them before getting grilled. Since its steak we use Mesquite or Hickory, depending what I got available. Normally Mesquite
I pre-smoke for 2 or 3 pucks. Then grilled to finish.
I used to do true cold smoked with offset, then with ice. To much effort for a great steak. What I do now, is with puck burner only, not using cabinet heat source, no pre-heat. I turn it on with a puck on and put the steak in, sure the first put barely smolders, but by the second one its good. I turn the steak once during smoke (also helps evacuate heat when I open the door). Then I take it out after the hour and directly on the grill.
Note, doing this Grill times are reduced greatly. But the taste is really good.
Do not try this on Tenderloin, dries it out to much and tastes bad.
I cold smoke all my steaks now before I grill them. I either use 2 pucks of hickory, or 3 pucks of a milder wood, then vac seal and refrigerate overnight. Delicious!
