First Tri Tip EVER
« Reply #-1 on: March 05, 2015, 09:34:02 PM »
I just cooked my first ever tri tip and i cooked it on the PBC! I used the PBC Beef and Game rub and thats it. I used the lighter fluid method with almost a full basket of KB. The tri tip was done in about 45 minutes to an internal temp of 135. It tasted excellent. I couldnt figure it out, sirlion, strip, etc., but it tasted pretty close to a steak i would cook on the grill.

The PBC started hot and stayed hot. When the tip was done the PBC temp was at 350. Ambient outside temp was about 45.

I do have a question for you guys. Notice how the briquettes on the right are not ashed or even lit. Im not sure how that happened or why. I assume that would be a problem if I would have been doing a long cook. I soaked the charcoal pretty well to start.

This is first time i have ever tried to save any charcoal, due to this being such a short cook. I covered the re-bar holes and the intake with foil. We will see how much i have left and if it would be good enough to reuse.

Im definitely going to try Muebe's Trisket at some time in the near future.

Don't listen to Pappy! Too many paint chips ingested as a child has caused him fear of anything new and different.

Your tri-tip looks great!

As far as the coals that might be you needed to wait just a couple minutes longer before putting the lid on. The 20 minutes is a guide but you can look at them and see when the entire coal bed is starting to ash over.

And give the Trisket a try. When done properly it turns out excellent!

Muebe is right about the basket of coals and he is right about how nice your tri-cut looks - it is beautiful! NICE JOB! As for the triscut, well I have to bow to Pappy's age and experience...  ;) ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8)

Great looking tri tip! I have done several triskets and it is NOT a legend! Like Muebe says if done right they are excellent. We actually
prefer trisket over brisket. (Plus a BIG price difference)  ;)

I notice this fairly often, especially early in the cook. With long cooks, it has never been a problem, as all the charcoal eventually lights and burns. In some ways, I think it actually helps with longer cooks because fresh charcoal burns later in the cook, helping to prolong a steady heat source. Here's a photo from my very first cook (I can't believe my PBC was once that shiny and clean!).

By the way, nice tri tip!

Ron you might be right regarding the coals. since this was just s 45 min cook maybe they didn't have enough time.

I just seasoned it with pbc beef and game right before I threw it on. Flavor was fantastic.

Here is what the coals look like from after this cook.

Do you guys think I could get a long cook if I used these and then filled basket full with new kb?

HMMM never tried it - if you do, let us know how it works. I usually get 7 - 8 hours out of my coals, but this could be an interesting option.

I take it as this is one of the things learned that differ from what Noah says? Im at the altitude that calls for 15 min, but maybe i do need to wait longer.

My first Tri tip I did with a piece or two of pecan wood and was blown away by the flavor. I apparently cut some of it wrong because some was tender, some was bubblegum. Definite turn off on the bubble gum parts. Lol
I don't remeber what the "trisket" is. Refresh my memory.
