Looks great.
As a OS newbie, a couple of questions:
1) did you try to control the cooking temp or did you just let it go?
2) How long did it take
3) How big was the tri -tip
Thanks - trying to "master" the OS
the way i set it up, with a pile of coals on the side
it's 1/2 chimney of lump oak coal
i light all of the charcoal in the chimney. no bed of unlit coal (Minion)
my grill/cabinet probe on my Maverick ran around 250°, the temp in the lid said 280°
the vents are 1/2 open on both the bottom and the lid
it took 1hr 20'mins for this 2#+ Tri-tip to get to 135°
