Has anyone smoked a rib eye steak in this smoker?
How did it compare to aone cooked on a grill?

Tom-Welcome to the forum!
To answer your question-Yes! 10 times better at least. I salt and pepper and then smoke mine with mesquite at 225 degrees until an internal temperature of about 130 degrees. I then sear it for about 2 min on the hottest grill I can get. I try to finish it to about 140 degrees internal and then let rest for about 10 minutes. Outstanding!

Thank you so much for your replay. I am going to give it a try.
My first cook was a slab of baby back ribs and they were wonderful? Hope the steak will be as good.

It will be. Smoke and sear gives great flavor.
I used to smoke and sear our steaks but now we just smoke them to an internal of about 124. (We like it rare.)
Went to a restaurant last night that offered 'rib eye' but the fine print said it was prime rib and I guess that might be true. They took a really thick cut of PR and seared it very lightly. Was very good.
You haven't had a good PR until you've cooked one to your specs on a CS smoker.......

I've also had my prime rib slow cooked, then sliced and seared that way...pretty tasty.
I have cold smoked steaks when I bought more than I was going to use. Threw the one I was going to use on the grill, and froze the rest. They were really good.
