- Smoking at low 'n slow temps provides no accurate time frame on when it will be done, it is done when it reaches your desired internal meat temp. What temp you want to bring it too?

- Smoking Tri-Tip I would smoke it at 225º to 250º for a cook chamber temperature.

- or 40 lbs. of Tri-Tip I would start plenty early as the Tri-Tip can always be cooked to right below the desired temp, foiled wrapped and set in a cooler to rest before serving and still be fresh and steaming hot.
