I have cooked a few Tri-Tips since I have gotten addicted to this wonderful way of cooking(smokin) but I have always fixed them like a briskit. Smoked to 150-160* then foiled and taken to 190*......I like them fixed this way and always will. Yet hearing everyone say they only take them to 135*and no higher got the best of me today. So here is the qview....Enjoy!

Two decent sized Tri-Tips.

It all looks awesome Mark tho I think your should have brought those Tri-Tips done here so you could show me exactly how ya did it oh and of course I'd have to sample some or a whole one

Job well done there. Love the Tri Tip
 
Ok now you are hitting them in my temp range.  This temp is the perfect temp in my book. I must have cooked a couple hundred of these in my lifetime and that looks perfect
 
Looks good.  Some cuts I would have pulled sooner.  I might even have pulled that sooner, but it looks great.  I like my tri tips on the medium side of med rare or on the rare side of med, if you know what I mean.  This is a strange cut which can be "chewy" if cooked too rare.  I don't cook it as rare as I would a rib roast for example.

Yours looks great!

Good luck and good smoking.

Hi buddy how have you been??? I see the tri-tips look awesome and I wish that we could get them. Now the whole smoke looks great and if you keep smoking like that I might just move up and be your neighbor. The food looks worth it.
 
Ah, you're killing me.  The tri-tip is over the top.

I like the idea of the bacon/mushroom/swiss burgers.  Since I grind my own, you just gave me a great idea when I'm not interested in doing a stuffed burger.

Is there anything different in your Garbage burgers or are they just leftovers from the display case hitting their time limit?

Two great ideas.  You da Man.

Thanks for showing---I love it!!
