Did a quick search prior to asking. Perhaps it was my wording but the first 12 hits were about trip tip roasts, none were about an actual steak itself.Of course It can!. Smoking is indirect heat-not like bbq'ing. I have smoked many a steak. I love to use mesquite on mine(matter of preference)
Just keep an eye on it and go low and slow! I've seen a ton of threads on here about tri-tip, try a search!!!
Hope I was at least a little help.
Mrs. Inkjunkie wants hers a horrid shade of grey. Last ones we done on the BGE were about 2" thick or so I guess. Hers had a 15 minute (7.5 each side) head start. Was on for a total of 30 minutes. I normally tell if hers is done by poking it, if no juice comes out of it we are good to go. I have tried to get her to change but one would have better luck digging a grave with a teaspoon. Pains me to cook meat the way she likes it lol.Sure you can!!
No Tri Tips around here, but if I can smoke a 1" to 1.5" Ribeye, you can smoke a Tri Tip Steak.
Smoke Low & Slow for an hour or two. Then onto my hot Weber "Q".
I don't do it often, because Mrs Bear doesn't want hers smoked, and it's a PITA to get them both to finish Med-Rare together.
Bear
If it is not a nasty looking shade of grey she won't touch it.Sounds best to not let her cook the meats! My dad only likes well done we try to not let him cook as I don't want to eat charcoal!

Thanks for the link...oddly one night when I couldn't sleep I stumbled upon that thread but forgot to subscribe to it.They are the same thing. Usually around 2-3.5 lbs. Search for fast eddy tri tip on you tube for a great guide.
It is for his grill/smoker but you can do it with any smoker and a grill.
