Title: Slow tri-tip
Post by: flbentrider on January 21, 2013, 04:11:22 PM

Slow tri-tip

I have done tri-tip with the reverse sear, this one I did on "smoke" the whole way.

Start with a tri-tip

I had some renouned Mr. Brown left over:

On the MAK 2 Star on "smoke" with BD Sugar maple

When the ID it 130 I pulled it, and wrapped for a rest

It's done!

Both the Mrs and I agree we liked the reverse sear better. It was good, but there seemed to be something "missing"

Looks good.  Don't see any reason you can't do both just like prime rib - smoke to whatever IT you want, foil wrap for 30-90 minute rest, and sear just before slicing/serving.  Best of both worlds?

That's what I usually do. I wanted to see how much more smoke I could get doing it this way. The answer is: Not as much as I wanted. I am going to get an A-maze-n.

Bent the Tri-tip looks great!

The AMZPS really helps with smoke flavor on shorter cooks since Tri-tips cook pretty fast.

There is something about that sear that creates a great flavor on the exterior of the meat that I also love ;)

Very nice cook!

I was thinking about only smoking my tri tip on sunday, too, and wanted to do that next time. After reading your post I'm not so sure about that inbetween.

Thanks for doing and posting this topic.
Will say me trying it. :)

BTW, the slices look great so I guess it was the taste you did not like.

The kids get to sit at the big table.

I've tried to get them to let me smoke the mak and cheese, I keep getting rebuffed.
