Sounds like a bone-in ribeye and not a tomahawk.

Why on earth would you buy a steak without plans to grill it? I understand reverse sears and skillets.... They work fine, but u have confused me. Too hot to grill outside? Huh? Buy a steak and then try to find a way to cook it? Interesting.

Reverse sear in oven and skillet.

Understood. Reverse sear is what ur looking for.... Do you have a cast iron skillet?

Dude, you don't need to babysit a reverse sear:

Go outside
Light your fire
Go inside
Let the grill get to 180*-225* (you decide)
Go outside
Throw steak on with thermometer
Go inside
Once the thermometer hits 118*
Go outside
Take it off
Open vents to get fire really hot
Go inside
Once the fire is really hot
Go outside
Throw it on for about 2 minutes or so
Take it off and cut off your fire.
Go inside

You really don't have to babysit it. However, the fact that you are making all of these excuses tells me you are probably going to frick it up and put in into the microwave anyway. Good luck.

I smoked some pork on the BGE Saturday while it was balls hot outside... just rolled it so I could read the thermometer out the back window.

You boys really need to look in to remote thermometers. You can get one pretty cheap.

I have one with a probe that I used once it was close, so I could see the internal temp without having to go out and stick a thermometer in, but no, it's not remote.

Still, didn't have to go in and out constantly.

For petes sake Jank, just bring the goshdarn pit inside. You're making me dizzy.

I just stay outside for the most part. Between cold vodka and a ceiling fan I am fine with the heat.

Where did you purchase said tomahawk steak?

I'm starting to get away from this. I have recently preferred it not resting.
