Got's to give it up to Big Mista for the idea on the rub. I saw his post of some tri-tips. I asked him what the rub was. Lemon Pepper, Montreal Steak Seasoning and Lawery's Season Salt. That cause the bark to be outrageous. I learned that between a good cut of meat, oak wine barrel, seasoning and watching your meat temps, once again, you get great results. One of the best I've had so far.
