Hickory Smoked/Reverse Seared New York Strips
I bought some awesome looking 2" thick New York Strips for dinner tonite.

The Strips
I decided that I'd smoke them over Hickory and then Reverse Sear in cast iron.
First I dry brined them for 4 hours, then rinsed and tied them tightly into round packages.
I do that so they take more smoke before their IT comes up and it's time to sear them.
Then it is into the smoker at 250° +/- until they reach an IT of 115°, then searing to med-rare temp of 135° and a rest.
