    PBC & Yoder Wichita chicken. The back 6 (left to right) were stickburner, the front six PBC. Roughly the same temps ~340 for the most part. As you can see the PBC chicken looks perhaps a little less sightly, but since I like dark meat well done, they actually were better to me. The Yoder had ash & oak logs, the PBC had 1 ash & oak chunk. The 4 on the left (front & back) were my rub, the 4 in the middle were PBC all purpose rub, and the right were marinated in McCormick Grill Mates tomato basil marinade packets. Not a bad bite anywhere!

      I'm full of ribs right now, but I sure could use one of those to top me off for the night!! Yum.

    Pork tenderloins on my 26" kettle and SnS XL. Garlic, black pepper and rosemary are our favorite for these. Cook was ~325 for about 45 minutes to an IT of 140.

      PBC makes righteous pulled chuck roast. That meat really likes the flavor from the burnt offerings.

      Chicken Montreal rub and a chunk of pecan. Should of took the pic outside. Pecan gives chicken and real nice color.

      Pecan is awesome with poultry!

    Ok, I am confused. (Not an unusual situation for me) The package said this was a tri-tip. There was a lot of fat in this this 2.25 lb roast. The way I understand it, the tri-tip is part of the sirloin. Seems like there should not be this much intramuscular fat in sirloin. Am I wrong here? Did I get sold a different cut of meat?

      I cook at least 70 per year - probably a lot more. The fat is not uncommon. Cut against the grain and thin and it will not only take on a different look but it will melt in your mouth! That's a great photo.

      I'm with tbob4! An untrimmed tri tip can have a LOT of fat. I'll trim it down to 1/8-1/4".

      I took this up to 115 too quickly. I should have given it probably another half hour to get there, and the fat would have rendered more.

    It may look a bit "well" for some, but the internal temp is 145 and tender as can be. Smoked 3.5 hours and then seared on Grillgrates with a couple of brushes of sauce.

    In that cut pic where you show the fat... you cut with the grain. It could be that you just happened to cut into a fat striation. If you cut against the grain you'll likely see a lot smaller fat ratio.

      I thought I was cutting against the grain? I cut straight across the end of the roast. It was dang good!

    Off to the races! Snow? What snow?

      Hey there Mr. Bones! Yeah, i'm cheap so I just rolled up some hail screen. Light it with a blowtorch. Cheaper than Amazon.

      Looks super! I just wish It wouldn't shrink up so bad. I start mine out, then get good and hungry, then finish the point, then wonder who stole half my meat. The dreaded "shrinkage" strikes again.

    Dave's right. You nailed most of it. I think you happened to grab one slice that was with the grain.

      Yummy! Everything looks great.

    Huskee - Nice job on the tri-tip illustrations. I feel honored you used my photo to illustrate. Unfortunately, I stole a couple of hunks from the middle and end before taking that photo because my wife was a little slow with the side dishes. Your lines and my cuts would have lined up a bit better then! I really like the feature you used with the red lines and the tri-tip out of the bag to show the grain. It's important to note that the grain at the top of the tri-tip will often run at slightly different angles - no two are just alike. It's relatively easy if you get a good triangle but often, you can get one that's shaped just a bit off. When you reverse sear those lines of delineation can completely disappear. Your illustration is very helpful because while we have an abundance of tri-tips in California it always surprises me to find out that it's still relatively hard to come by in other parts of the Country. A good slicing technique can make all the difference in the world. Good job!

      Here in Ft. Worth I did find tri-tip at a country butcher once. But it was about $6/lb if I remember right and they looked kind of small compared to all the pictures I have seen on here so I bought a couple chuck roasts for $3.99/lb instead.

      I was confused for a minute...my bad, I used your pic instead of jgjeske1's by mistake. Anyway, the point was to illustrate there's two directions of grain in a tri tip like you say and not just one.

      Huskee - It's the best job I have seen of illustrating how to cut the "cut". That's why I like the site so much. I'm going to have to wait a bit to buy a PBC but I've been taking in all your advice for when I do. Thanks again for all your work!
