.....Need to break away from fish for awhile and would love to try a tri tip if anyone has a proven recipe.  What wood is preferred?

Thanks

Craig

Loves me some tri tip.. Like any beef, I keep it simple with a good dose of kosher salt, CBP and a sprig of  fresh rosemary. Smoke to your likeness.

I have been using McCormick's Cowboy Rub, smoking for 2 hrs at 225 with mesquite wood, then will fire up the grill to 400-500 and sear on both side for just a min or 2 until IT is 132, Pull and wrap in foil and cover with a towel for 15-20 mins.

Good nice med rare.

The cowboy rub has some really good flavor for a tri tip.

I use a SPOG rub, smoke at around 240*F to an IT of about 130*. Throw it onto a very hot grill for reverse sear, just a couple minutes each side. I always use oak for the smoke.

How much does a tri tip weigh? 2 to 3 pounds maybe?

This is exactly what I was considering for my first attempt.
