Title: Tri Tip on the Davy Crockett
Post by: cgriller64 on April 20, 2017, 07:14:41 PM: Inspired by Nukeofficer's post a couple days ago I did a Tri Tip for dinner last night. First Tri Tip cook on my pellet smoker.

Sorry no money shot but it did turn out good. The family consensus was it was very good but not quite the same as spinning it on the Kamado. Also I don't think I let the tots cook long enough. They were a little soggy but nothing a couple minutes in the air fryer couldn't fix.

Good news is tonight's dinner is a given. Not sure what the rest of the family is going to eat. ;)

SJ - French Dips are a favorite around here. I really like Johnny's Au Jus. That and a nice horseradish sauce makes for goods eats.

RW - I'm still learning to cook on the pellet grill but have been very impressed so far. Didn't put a lot of thought or effort into this one. Did this cook at 400 degrees start to finish. Pulled the Tri Tip when it reached 135. Served with a horseradish sauce and the tots.

Try the smoke setting (170-190°) for 2 hours...then kick it to 425° flipping a couple of times til done. Soooooo good!

Post by: cgriller64 on April 21, 2017, 09:40:06 PM: Thanks everyone for the kind words. This one did turn out good but next time I'm going to go with RW's recommendation of smoking it first and finishing at high heat. Also considering doing it "trisket"? style. Sounds intriguing.
