Fight Night Tri Tip seasoned up

[Fussin & Cussing]

Using Meatheads Tri Tip in the table of contents. Decided to go with my brisket rub. Weighed about 4.5 before trimming. 4.0 now. Took all the fat cap and silver skin off.

Pulled it 110 and grilled on old trusty/rusty

I have never done a tri tip. I probably should it is one of the few things in bbq I have never attempted

[HouseHomey]

It's great stuff my friend. Delicious. Cooks like a steak. You won't be disappointed.

Give it a shot. Might even knock a Texan off brisket...

Nice looking grill F&C. My usual beef on the PBC. I can smoke them in 50-70 minutes (depending on size) and they come out perfect. I usually use Select grade, because they come out so fine on the PBC and the price is low- usually $1.99-2.49
untrimmed in a bag of 5 or so. I even cut steaks from a big one once in awhile. Can't go wrong with tri tip.

reading about it, I think my argentine grill from pits and spits would work perfectly for it since I can raise and lower the cooking grates quickly. It also has a hood, and easy to control intake dampers. Thoughts?

[Livermoron]

Bingo. Same way a traditional Santa Maria grill works. if you can find some red oak, even better. Normally I can't tell much difference between types of wood, but red oak really stands out in tri tip...

[texastweeter]

I have a shed FULL of split red oak. Use it in the fire place. most of it has been seasoned 2-3 years too...I see an experiment in my future.

[Fussin & Cussing]

Yep and I see why they those. Once I had a good singe the meat wasn't up to 130 yet and so I had to sort of finish it off on the open coal side. Took a little longer than I wanted to which I'm sure dried it out some. Still a lot of juice to it but not as much as others have described.

Now that's a nice looking tri tip!

[Livermoron]

Nice!


Being from Central California, tri tip is my go-to. I've done them on the weber kettle rotisserie and in the PBC. Always a crowd pleaser...

[Fussin & Cussing]

Forgot to take pics of the slices. It was awesome. Everyone ate it up quick. A little something different too.

Beautiful!
