...thought it was only appropriate to do them together.

I have read on here that some guys get tri-tip with a fat cap, this is what a two pounder looked like from a Wegmans here in NorthEastPA. Didn't trim a thing, I added the Montreal Seasoning...

Ten minutes a side at got me right to 140...added a few chicken sausages too.

Thanks for the help and inspiration Brethren!!!
 
Look's great! May I ask what your charcoal baskett is made of?
 
I've seen tri-tip with a fat cap on it as well. I've cooked many a tri-tip without it. This piece of meat doesn't need any more juice. The tri-tip I've seen with the fat cap was a whole $1/lb cheaper than no fat cap. It would be worth it. $2.98/lb for an exceptional piece of beef - can't beat that!
 
it was just some

I have the Weber Side baskets, the others are just four split fire brick (4x9x1.5) arranged into the fire area i need for the tri-tip, defenitly a charchoal saver. I didn't even have to put the sausages over the coals. Just therw em on before i opened the tri-tip.
 
Nice job, I like the way you set up the charcoal, I am stealing that idea.
 
I have always used fire brick in my grills, lets you set in any combination, a few different zones, or what ever
 
I have 2 fire bricks now and I now think I need 2 more.The more I think about it the more I like it.I like the idea of putting the coals on the outside too for indirect.
