Tri tip on the LSG

[radshop]

I dy brined a 2 lb tri tip (weight after trimming) and let it age open air in the fridge for about 3 days. That wasn't the original plan, but I was too busy to cook it Thursday. Cooked it over FOGO lump and California red oak splits on the LSG with the internal grill pan, along with some taters & onions.

When did you get an LSG?

radshop I hope to have my welder by the end of the year, gonna be awfully tempting to build a small offset, but I really want to go "overkill" on a barrel smoker that can hold up to 8 briskets first.

If I had a bigger back yard, I'd have a bigger smoker. Don't hold back!

radshop I’d be happy to hold all the extra meat for your company’s marketing people. For safe keeping. In Irvine that postage stamp yard can hold a lot of cookers.

Good food and good beer!

[HouseHomey]

Looks like you need more tri tip for that cooker.

[radshop]

Yeah - it's not the most efficient way to cook a meal for 3 people but it sure is fun.

A quick look at the header reads, "Tri-tip on LSD."

Whoa man. Groovy.

[Ahumadora]

I thought the same thing. Then I put on my glasses.

Yea you had me at "Tri-tip on the LSG", two of my favorite things. Nice cook on a beautiful rig !!!

[Greygoose]

radshop I see some serious color from the drybrining
I have done a 24 hr but not a 72 hr
How did you like the results

[radshop]

It was a good unintended experiment. The outside definitely dried out a little, but aside from that there was no real difference from a 1 day dry brine - once the salt has fully penetrated the meat, that's as much as the brine can do. And 3 days isn't enough for a true dry aging effect.

radshop thanks for the update

Awesome cook radshop Love anything cooked on an LSG.
I remember when you got that rig. So cool your company paid for it. How lucky is that.

Beautiful job. Just did my first tri-tip tonight and I am now wondering why it took me so long to try one.

Watched a YT vid where a guy flipped his LSG over completely on its top with grass going down the chimney. Flipped it partially on rock driveway and grass. There was only a 1" tiny scratch and very tiny chip. Falling backwards, lid flew completely open when it was on its top then it rolled back and the lid was resting only on its self stopping hinges. Nothing bent. Looking at it you could not tell that it had been rolled. Very solidly built. Excellent welds.

Oh, and the tri-tip looks good, too.
