Hello Folks,
Its the time of year where I like to start trying new things on the smoker....or anything on the smoker really. I have always really wanted to try smoking a tri tip but I have a few questions.
1. What is the best seasoning to put on the meat? Seems like a lot of folks just use SPOG.
2. What is the desired temp? I have read where some folks take it off at 128 and some take it off all the way up to 155. I like my beef med. rare but just curious what temp produces the best flavor.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT'
3. Where the hell do you buy tri tip?!?!? I have looked several places but can't find anything! Any body in the Iowa area have any advice for me? Is there another roast that will work just as well in the place of tri tip?
Any info is much appreciated!
