Prepped last night around 9pm with some Diamond kosher salt and stored in the fridge over night on a wire rack.

Today, I took the steak out of the fridge around 2:30pm and then around 3:30pm, I rubbed it down with a bit of duck fat and seasoned with some homemade chili powder using red and green chili powders from Taos, NM and rounding out with some garlic powder, onion powder, and a few other spices.

Steak went on the smoker around 4:45pm with a mix of charcoal and cherry wood at 225F. Took a little over 1.5 hours to reach an internal temp of 120F. At that point, I took it off the smoker and loosely wrapped in some foil to let rest for 25 minutes. It then got a sear directly over charcoal, starting with the fat cap for about 30 seconds, and then alternating sides every 30 seconds for a total sear time of 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Rest period was about 15-20 minutes and the peak internal temp was around 133-135F.
