Tri-Tip First Attempt

[Professor]

I picked up two 1.5-2lb tri-tip roasts. Let then chill overnight with some seasonings (Worcestershire, Montreal, garlic and cayenne). Fired up the gatorpit this afternoon with some lump charcoal and oak. Here are the pictures - they cooked a little faster than I anticipated so a little over done but still tasted excellent.

Looks fantastic! How long did you smoke em for?

 

[cowgirl]

Looks great! I like the sound of your seasoning mix too. :-D

 

[Professor]

I smoked them for 2 1/2 hours then wrapped them if foil while I made the green beans and potatoes. I think I should have taken them off at that point rather than leaving them on for an additional hour. The pit temperature was ~200-225 for the last hour.

Thanks for all the kind words!

Nicely done, for me they are a little overdone, but, well within the 'I would eat it' stage.
