My smoker is a GMG Daniel Boone wifi. More importantly, I was using a Thermapen MK4 to measure doneness. I really like high quality thermometers. My fuel was GMG Applewood blend which is black oak, hickory and applewood.
My choice to reverse sear on the Weber kettle was so that I could get it really hot and throw the steaks directly from the smoker to the grill. In the past I have reversed seared with the little Weber Q2100, but it was not big enough for the seven steaks and I needed it to grill the asparagus. The Weber kettle did a good job.
