Just picked up two tri-tips and was thinking about throwing them on the smoker. Im looking for some good recipes and directions (temp, time, wood, ect....) Thank you
I do indirect on the Performer until about 120 and then throw them onto the direct fire with the small cast iron grate I found at Home Depot (it is some kind of a Chargriller rectangle thing. Season with Oak Ridge Santa Maria or my current fave - Oakridge Competition Beef and Pork rub. When I do the sear I hit it with butter and a touch of agave. as an alternative I seasoned with Habanero Death Dust and finished with the agave. Hot and sweet. Here is what a recent one looked like doing it this way.
I like to ice the tip of it. When the big part of meat is medium rare, the tip is usually medium/well. So I ice the tip for about 10 minutes when it's on the counter coming up to room temp.
