Sounds like good advice to me. It's basically a reverse sear with a few extra steps added. I'm going to try this on my next steaks.

Thanks for the link Duke, I'll give that a go
it's a good technique for producing a lot of steaks.
but i still swear by the sear and slide.
the reverse sear produces a slightly better texture, and less gray zone - but it doesn't have the beefy smoke flavor produced by the early sear and the beef fat dripping down into the coals
you CAN get the flavor added to a reverse sear by adding beef fat to the coal - but that's not always convenient.
(there was a time where I had a bowl of frozen beef fat chunks in my freezer)

I have to agree, I like'em that way too.
