I am accustomed to chucks, but am trying a sirloin tip for this weekend. I understand that it can get really dry in a hurry. How can I add some moisture? I thought about bacon slices over the top. What do you think? Any info is appreciated.

You can do the bacon, you can also Brine it, you can inject it, you can wrap it in foil with a liquid, all of these should help keep it moist.

Number one thing is smoke it low and slow, and don't over cook it. It's a different beast than a chick and needs to be cook anywhere from rare to medium tops. It's a slicing roast and should be treated that way.

Thanks for the tips. Yes, I was definitely going to slice it.

Turned out really good. I sliced the dinner servings about 1/2" thick. All of the leftovers went thru the slicer and we'd made Sammie's the next day for lunch. Thanks for the tips, Joe
