I've got a tri tip rubbed and resting in the refrigerator for an oak smoke on Sunday.  I plan to take it to an IT of 145.  I've seen conflicting posts on the temperature to smoke it.  Any suggestions?  150*?  200*?  Higher?  Thanks in advance.
There's room for all of God's critters right next to the mashed taters and gravy!

I would pull it between 135º and 145º.  Here's a post where I compared a smoked Tri-Tip at 140º and 150º ... http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=18826.msg228849#msg228849

The post is for one at 150º but it has another post imbedded that shows the 140º.  It's all a matter of personal preference.  Some people will pull it at 125º.  It's all good  ;D ;D

There's fat and blood in beef, and both make it taste good.
Cook all of it out of a "tester" (go ahead---cook it done), and see how much flavor is left.

You can always cook it more.
Uncooking it requires divine intervention.

Try 125-130, let it rest a while, and see if you like it...
Just like prime rib, you can have simmering au jus on the side which will quickly bring it to anyone's doneness preference.
