Eatin Smoke

Tri-Tip is one of my favorite cuts of meat and when I'm fortunate to get my hands on some I stock up (not readilly available near me). I've always grilled them hot & fast so I decided to try and smoke one today.
3lb TT w/ my usual rub......smoked @ 235 until 140 IT

Wrapped in foil for 20 min rest then sliced

Results.......was VERY good with IT consistent from end to end. Cooked very similar to Prime Rib. Normally when doing hot & fast ends tend to get well done by the time the middle is perfect. Only thing I would change is to keep the rub simple and basic next time like I do my Prime Rib. Will definitely try this again!
