Hi, I am kind of new to the smoking world.  Have helped my dad for years on BBQing chicken but recently got a smoker for Christmas (Dyna Glo offset) and getting it ready to start smoking.  Since it's been extremely cold around here (KY) I have put off on firing it up as of yet. Just looking for a forum to get some knowledge from. My overall goal is to become familiar with the tri tip because I am trying to replicate a smoked sirloin I had during a business trip out in West Kansas. By far the best steak I have ever had.  Apparently the company is owned by Texas Land and Cattle and I have found that they use the tri tip. In Kentucky, butchers don't seem to put it out. Aside from that I just ordered some Grill Grates as well as an AMNTS 12". Can't wait to be able to use some of this!

Here's another NC welcome  ;D

The tri-tip is a regional cut common in the Midwest and West but very hard to locate elsewhere.  Here in the Southeast it is ground into hamburger unless you can find a butcher to save it for you.

WELCOME!

Haha! Only advice I can give you on Kobe is to not order it down in Tunica, MS. Ate at one of the fancy restaurants down there and ordered it...not impressed. But I have heard there are only a handful of places in the US that actually serve true Kobe beef.

Thanks for the info.  I have read many posts that call it many different things, is there anything in particular I should tell my butcher? I have seen some posts mention something like this "Tri-Tip's UPC number is 1429 and Tri-Tip's IMPS/NAMP code is 185C" (credit to Rummm on here for that), now is that a universal thing that all butchers should know?

Thanks for all the warm welcomes!

Welcome to the forum, from NE Ohio.

I love Tri-tip.  I find it occasionally, but it's not real common in this Midwest state, I'll tell you!  If you can't find it, the next closest option is some thick cut bottom sirloin.
