Anyone smoked Tri-Tips on the offset stick burner like a brisket? Results?

That looks pretty good. You've almost convinced me to try it again. BTW, how long were the cooks?

The cook on the offset was around 6 hours per my notes. Honestly, that was not a planned cook method. I started it on the pellet smoker but 30 minutes in the pooper was having flame-out issues, so I bailed and went to the offset. My notes are not real detailed. I recall it as a frenzied effort to save the meal.

The cook on the pellet pooper was 8.5 hours plus a 30 minute rest per my notes. It ran initially at 180F for 2.75 hours to try to increase smoke flavor. I then changed it to 225F setting and periodically bumped it up as the cook was running too long.

If smoked it like brisket quite a few times, it is pretty pretty good

Planning on doing another one tomorrow afternoon. Have a nice almost 4lb Snake River defrosting right now.
