    smoking tri tip

    I asked this in another thread but I need a quick answer. Can I wrap the tri tip and smoke it over night at 160 ish?

    That sounds like a risky low temp to me. Tri tips are not a very large cut of meat. I usually do a quicker cook at higher temps. 275 to 300 until I reach an internal temp of 135. On my Weber 22.5 with the slow n sear this is usually about a 1.5 to 2 hr cook.

      You could try. I smoke my trip-tips for 4 hours at 220-225. This goes against conventional tri-tip cooking styles but I much prefer the longer smoke. Before experimenting with 165 for an 8 hour cook try it out at the same temp and time Sous Vide style and take a look at the results. I am assuming you are using a pellet smoker to keep it at 165 over night. I'm a split log/water pan smoker. Thats how I can control the temp at that range. Wrapping the trip-tip for an extended period can make the meat mushy in my experience, but that is at a higher temp than you are attempting.

          I've eaten many, many Tri-Tips. I'm in California where Tri-Tips are in every store that sells beef. I personally don't like smoke on my Tri-Tip or most beef cuts. Just my taste buds I guess.

          I cook Tri-Tip Sous Vide. I prefer to leave it in the bath tub for 24 hours at 131°. I take it out of the SV bag, blot it dry, put some beef love on it and apply my rub, either BBBR or MMD. Then I sear it on my kettle with the SnS.

          It's a very simple cook that requires very little hands on time.👍

        Two ways that I see being popular with Pit members here are to sous vide it for a few hours, then a quick sear; or a reverse sear as you would a steak. I've only ever done one tri-tip (not common where I live) so I'm no pro, but I reverse seared it and it was great. 200ish until 10 deg. under target, then sear it up to just under target temp.

          An overnight smoke is risky at that temp. If smoked Tri-Tip is what you want, just do 3-5 hours at 225F depending on the degree of doneness your prefer. I much prefer a reverse sear to Medium Rare or no more than 4 hours in the Sous Vide bath at 135 followed by a ripping sear.

            Lightly smoked w Apple wood tri tip in Weber and SnS reverse sear. Smoked at 225-250 for 45 min until ~110IT then sear turning often until about 130IT. Dry brined a few hours with Montreal steak seasoning and a little smoked paprika. Ate with grilled corn with thyme butter. Nice little dinner.

              Sound delicious and that's a great sear.

            Traeger's molasses and chili marinade tri-tip recipe is a simple and easy to prepare meal for the whole family.
