W E L C O M E to the Forum jrunyon22!
I'm in Florida, I've never seen a tri-tip, but I'm sure someone who has will be along shortly
jruny, welcome to the forum.
having done many tri tips what i would do is a light to mediumn seasoning of the following
crushed garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, smoke 1 1/2 to 2 hours at 220 then turn off smoke generaator and finish till an IT of 145 to 150, if you like your tri tip fall apart tender then take it to an IT of 195 - 200 you should be happy with the resualts. cooking time should be 1 to 1 hr 30 mins per pound
tri tips are not usually that big. are u sure it's a tri tip?
well according to the label, i doubled checked, it says beef loin, tri tip AST.........its 2.75lbs, goes for bout 4.70 lb...
