Title: Oh no I didn't! Oh yes I did!....Smoked Bacon Wrapped Tri-Tip
Post by: muebe on December 02, 2011, 12:26:07 AM

I pulled me another $1.99lb Tri-Tip out of the deep freeze. This one was rubbed with Sweet Heat seasoning before it was vacuum bagged and frozen.

Bacon and the tri-tip...

I decided to use the natural gas smoker because we were having thundershowers and the power was going in and out. It is modified with a modulating oven thermostat and I dialed it in at 225F...

Fired up the smoke daddy with cherry and hickory chips...

I pulled it out of the smoker with a IT of 140F...

I put it in the oven at 425F for 10 minutes to crisp up the bacon...

You need to start buying your Lipator now so you will have enough when you get older!   

Mike that's crazy yet delish!
