Well guys, as I stated before I found a tri tip, which ended up not being a tri tip but a top sirloin butt cut into a triangle. So I went to another grocery store and the butcher told me I didn't want a tri tip. He said what I was looking for a ball tip. I took him at his word, and low and behold, a tri tip and ball tip are different. So, I eventually found my way to a slaughterhouse and got the ever elusive tri tip. I bought three of them!! I'm smoking one tonight to go along with my 7lb pork butt that has been on the
WSM since 5:00 AM. Also have bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers slated for appetizers later on today.
