Been craving a piece of tri tip lately and it seems to be quite a scarce piece of meat here in SC. Happened to stop in Publix the other day and low and behold, what dod they have, but some tri tip, for about 9.45 a lb at about 2.3 lbs.
Picked it up with plans to toss it in the smoker today. Pulled it from the fridge and gave it a good coat of s.p.o.g. with some chipotle mixed into it.
Got the MES up to 225 and in it goes with some apple chips. Planned on smoking it till it hit 135, yank it from the smoker and sear ot on the grill. Was expecting the smoke for about 2-2.5 hrs, ended up being closer to 1.5 hrs when it hit 133.
Fired up the grill and got a nice sear on each side, wrapped it in foil and a couple of towels to rest in a small cooler till dinner time. Carry over cook in the cooler got me to 145, anything less than that and the wife isnt happy.
Pulled it from the cooler about 10 mins before dinner to slice it up
Before slicing
After slicing
Made up some mac and cheese and a bit of corn on the side and the family was happy.
Had some juice from the bottom of the foil I poured over the meat, man thats good stuff. Ive had some already rubbed tri tip a cpl times on the grill but they did not compare to this one, man it was good.
