First use of my PG500. Followed enclosed cookbook for ribeye steak med rare (1.25” thick).
Pre heated to 600. 3 minutes each side over direct flame then 5 minutes/side indirect heat.
I have never overlooked a steak. This one was bone dry and well done.
Cookshack Rookie needs guidance.

The video is pretty clear. I have never used a PG 500 but just from grilling., 600 degrees for about 3 - 4 minutes per side for 1 1/4 inch ribeyes is good for rare; an extra minute per side risks going over to medium. I think the mistake is the extra time on the indirect, instead of just resting. Just my $.02.
Agreed! Trying again tomorrow with direct flame 3 min/side and rest.
I don't have a PG but as much as I love my ********* smoker, I found the cookbook that came with to not be very valuable. All my knowledge came from the forum.
Why did the word ********* get starred out of my post?

That is just weird. If there are new rules about what can be posted (beyond the original rules (which seem unfortunately to have disappeared), I hope CS will make us aware of them.
The original rules, which among other things, disallowed selling equipment (including used CS equipment) on this blog, were useful.
One time I accidentally put a c where the o should go. DON'T DO THAT! 
I guess you mean the second "o". I guess this thread could get pretty stupid so I'll stop now.
