How would you go about cooking a 2.75 pound tomahawk?  I am fairly new to charcoal cooking. I have a new performer that I have done ribs and chicken halves on so far.

I am thinking medium indirect heat then sear it on high direct heat. Please let me know of any better ways. I have the cast iron insert for searing.

Send that steak to me. I'll try your plan and let you know how it worked out. Great looking rig, btw.

That is between a steak and a roast

soooooooooooooooo

sear it good and then put it in teh indirect zone and keep a thermometer handy.

take if off when finished and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes

Reverse sear. And use a probe for that honker of a steak.
Low temp (250ish), indirect first. Cook to desired IT, slowly.
Pull to rest, add coals to get screaming high heat. Sear a minute a side and serve piping hot.
When you cook them this way, the inside will be uniform all the way or also called bumper to bumper. No greeting on the outside edges. Perfect pink all the way across.
Take lots of pics, whatever you decide!

Ditto,,, I'd sear then go indirect. Watch temps

I do them indirect for about 25 minutes at 350. Then a hot sear on each side for about 2 minutes. It works for me.

Reverse sear all the way. I'd start searing when it's around 110-115
