Thanks for the tip. Will be smoking a Tri Tip over the weekend, will try to remember this...and the above-mentioned notching as well.You don't have to reverse seat. Honestly I typically don't. A trick for slicing tri tip. It looks like a "v" or boomerang. Slice from the tip of the "v" to the notch. Then turn your knife 90 degrees to that cut and slice. That will get you slicing against the grain on both halves. Somewhere here there is a good slicing tutorial that shows that method.
Neither The Boss or I noticed a bit of difference, in tenderness or flavor at 155 over 140Ya , I think I do everything at 155 just to make sure its not running red..I actually did one tri-tip to 140 and one to 155 and the 155 was
a better chew Thumbs Up
