Rainy day Tri Tip on a MAK Grill at work.

OakPit · 03-25-2011, 01:02 AM

So it was rainy and I was bored at the shop, so I burned a Tri Tip to take home for dinner. It was sorta an experiment as we've been getting used to the MAK grill. Here's a little pron to go with the cook.

I seasoned the meat with Blue Star and 3Eyz.

The smoke from the MAK and the 3Eyz gave the Tri Tip a nice red color.

Not quite the smoke ring I'm used to with other cooker styles, but it was tender and full of flavor.

Thanks for looking..

I have yet to experience a bad tri tip from any your cooks Tim, and this one looks to be just as delicious as all the others.

So we had a little talk about tri-tip.......and I'm not there to sample it???? I'd like to try out that Mak as well. Kind of intriguing. I'd sure eat that!

martyleach · 03-25-2011, 01:26 AM

What temp did you cook at? That Mak doesn't like smoke at higher temps, right?

Wow, some nice looking tri-tips coming out of Livermore today!

The MAK will get 500 or so maximum. I run tips at 325 or so depending on various unmentionable variables...;-)

^^^ 500 huh! No problem with cooking anything then.

Bloody nice tri tip too!

CHeers!

That looks outstanding Tim i can almost taste it from here.

Looks great Tim. You ought to drag that thing out to the sidewalk and use it as a honeypot to lure foot traffic in. I'll bet a lot of vehicle traffic would pull over and have a look too.

I'll bet you'd sell a lot of gear that way. I think that's what Fred's Music and BBQ does.
