First Tri Tip

[WineMaster]

Cook indirect until desired temp, that's how I roll. Watch the grain when cutting, it changes direction from the point to the base.

BOIL it? Are you stark raving mad????? Lol! Lawry's seasoning salt and lots of black pepper. Cook it to med-rare/medium. Nuff said! Tri-Tip has tons of flavor on it's own. Adding a bunch of junk or soaking it in marinade ruins it (IMO)!

Austin Powers Mod: Oh that! It's not mine, really!

Yes I am guilty as charged. I feel like Bill Clinton now; yes I used it but I didn't inhale. Okay I'm lying, I use the fluid on occasion and I'm PROUD of it! Lighter fluid users unite!

Viva La Revolution!

Thanks for the replies. Looks like lunch tomorrow! I'll start it at about 10am. Fire up the grill at about 9:30am.

Big Grin! I better get some onions and buns.

Thanks for that link leanza.

Tomorrow was the other day! Its tomorrow already!

How did it go?

Tri tip is readily available here in CA. I smoke mine, no boiling. I wasnt a big fan of this cut until i smoked it. Just throwing it on my gas grill left it needing more. I smoked with apple wood and season with kosher salt, cbp, garlic powder, and a pinch of onion powder. Ive even used my rotisserie i modified for the UDS and it comes out very very moist.
