I smoked 17 Tri Tips today for my church. Kept it simple with a rub of kosher salt, black pepper, onion pepper, and garlic powder. Rubbed meat down and cooked at 250 degrees til internal temp was 150. Then I wrapped them all and left in the pit for about 20 minutes. I then pulled and let rest for about an hour and a half. I had about a gallon and a half of juice that people used for au jus from the cook. I utilized a slicer to cut this much meat. I used oak with a little mesquite.

Im wth you.. I never see them here either.
 
I had always heard that smoking TriTip was a no-no...glad I saw this....I can't wait to try it...Do you think apple wood would give a good smoke flavor...???....And if you are in Ogden, Utah...Don't go to WINCO for TriTips...they don't seem to know how to trim them...but they do carry good looking pork butts....

I smoke a Tri-tip once a week. Traditionally they are cooked over a red oak fire. I buy mine bulk and untrimmed, and trim my own.

I had tritip once in california last year from a gas station and it was definetely different then how I cook it. But I was looking for something to cook one day and I asked my buddy the butcher (who is originally from CA) if he had any, and he said nope but I will cut you one right now. So I took it home, rubbed it down with the above rub and threw it in the smoker at 250 on my oak/mesquite mix and my wife absolutely fell in love. Being something I never cooked I thought well it is beef, and it "kinda" looks like a brisket so I cooked it that way with a wireless thermometer in there. I googled internal temp for tritip and after 2 hours I was there. It has now became my favorite, and it has been my favorite. In the last two months I have cooked about 35 tips for various functions including the 17 yesterday. people here in southern Oklahoma absolutely love it since most have never had it. I slice it like brisket and serve it in sandwiches with the au jus.
