Made my first trisket today!

Burnt at Both Endz said:

Do you run them up to "probe tender" or to a certain finish temp? May have to try one of these.

Same as brisket - probe around 190 pull when in&out without resistance and a bit floppy/relaxed with held in middle of the cut...

I also did one last week after reading this post. It was great. The next morning for breakfast...hot damn! Awesome

We bought the two pack from Costco. The bigger of the two got smoked. The smaller one got turned into tacos and burritos (trimmed tri-tip, seasoned with taco meat, place into slow cooker with a sliced up onion and a couple cups of beef broth. Go fishing. Come home and eat).

Cheers!

Looks delicious, but I think I'll stick to medium rare. Understand the wife thing. She wanted her t-bone last night a little more well done. It hurt to do it for her, but I did it an honest medium and she was happy.

Definitely agree on the slicing, especially if you are going to cook it to that temp. Want to go against the grain to make it more tender. That top picture Wookie shared is the one I normally share.
