I agree with that and if they never have had tri tip there would be plenty of WOW factor when they did

Hope that helps....and I guess, don't try and source some kangaroo or emu steaks for them!

I agree with everything you say except for the bolded statement. If I'm traveling to another country, I want to experience the culture of that country. If I'm invited to someone else's place, I expect to experience their normal situation. I don't want them try to replicate my normal situation. Just because my family is normally very relaxed doesn't mean I wouldn't I wouldn't enjoy going to someone else's place for a formal dinner. In fact, we are doing exactly that tomorrow night.

Thanks for all the replies everyone, im bad at the multi-quote thing so here is a reply to everyone LOL.

After thinking about it im gonna stick with my tri-tip idea. Im positive his family hasnt had one before and the last one I did on the UDS was AMAZING.

Carbon whats wrong with the choice of cooker? My plan is to do a reverse sear with it on my gasser. The plan is to smoke it on the UDS until the temp internal temp reaches 100-110 and then throw it on the hot gasser and sear it until 135 and pull it and let it rest for half hour or so in a foil tent.

Am I wrong in my cooking process? What cooker should I be using?

Oh, absolutely nothing wrong with your method. Your dinner guests are in for a real treat! Since I have a kettle I always use that whenever I do tri-tips.

Well I do have a 22.5" kettle that I bought for parts on my UDS when I built it. I could always take the grill out of my UDS and put it back in my kettle and use it. Whats your cooking method on the kettle im curious?

I like doing tri-tips hot and fast, direct/indirect, on the kettle, and have burned red oak splits in the kettle as well. I've even used a rotisserie on it and it came out great. I've also done reverse sear on the kettle too. I've been happy with any one of those methods using the kettle.

Here's one on the rotis I did a few months back:
