Been Gone awhile but back with Tri-tip Q-View

[jaye220]

Haven't been able to post for a while but I did my 1st tri-tip smoke last week and wanted to share. I was very happy with the results. I smoked them in the Big Block for about 3 hours at 240-250 with hickory and apple chunks. I marinated it before in some Stubb's Beef Marinade (I was lazy) and then spinkled with kosher salt. I took them both to 145, let them sit for an hour and had a great dinner. They were perfectly tender and had a great smoky flavor. Anyway, here's what you all came here for:

Here they are, sitting in the marinade:



Just into the Big Block:



After the flip:



Just out and waiting for it's buddy to hit 145 before resting:



So nice and tender and juicy:



Another sliced pic...very good stuff:

WOW now thats some mighty fine tip there Jaye. They look so juicy and a fine to boot. Now why did you flip them I never have and I'm just curious why??how did you like that marinade?? Great job.

thanks, man...appreciate the compliments. I searched the site a bunch and the most comprehensive post I found suggested flipping. I never have flipped anything else I've cooked but I decided to try it this time. The Stubbs beef marinade was actually pretty good...no need for anything but that and some kosher salt.
