I picked up a pre marinated teryaki tri tip. On discount. I am wondering what wood, if any, would go best with the teryaki marinade. My wife wants something milder than hickory. I have on hand Apple, cherry, maple and Oak. Will be cooking on an 18.5 WSM. Any advice?
 
I think any of the woods you mentioned would be fine. The issue maybe that pre marinated TT aren't a great starting point generally. Best of luck and try to get a plain one for your next attempt it's a great but sometimes hard cut to get.Thumbs Up
 
I do prefer them plain but that was not in cards today, as I am poor, and it pisses off the wife far less when she sees that I got it on sale. I think I am going to add some salt and pepper to it, then smoke with cherry and Apple. Reverse sear when it's close to temp.
 
Sounds like a solid plan! Maybe you could buy them bulk at a restaurant supply store if you have the room for them. I get them in bags of six and buy 1-2 bags at a time there not trimmed but usally under $3 #,much better then $9.99 and up at grocery stores.
 
I ended up going with Apple and Oak because my cherry was uncut and a little damp.but it came out great. I brushed some ears of corn with garlic butter, wrapped them in foil, and threw them on the smoker as well. All in all a satisfying meal. We have a Cash N Carry nearby I'll check their prices. Thanks for the input.
