smoked and reverse seared tri-tip

[sandyut]

bought Heffer Dust from Rec Tec to mix things up. smoked at 235 to about 110 IT, then seared at about 500 on the gasser to about 120 IT with cross grill marks - that went fast. turned out great, next time i will smoke at a lower temp for a longer smoke period. at 235 it was only about an hour to get to 110 IT, turned out very good.

Tri tip looks good. I'm reverse searing one today.

When I reverse sear tri tip I usually smoke it ar180° to 200° for 2 to 3 hours and then sear it on the weber.

TT looks awfully good to me. Our grocer finally has TT in stock, but at 9.00/lb I don't think I'll be trying it to soon.

Point for sure.

thanks! Costco had TT for 5.99/lb and this was one of them. they only sold two at a time so one was vacuum sealed and frozen. didnt seem to detract from the goodness. not bad at all. I shop for several things at the local butcher, but they charge about 12/lb for the TT. hard to justify 2X the cost.

That TT looks absolutely delicious!
It's very expensive here too, if you can find one!
Only bought a couple in my life.
I can get ribeyes cheaper.

Mmmmm... Love me some TT, and smoked/reversed seared is great.
Nice job, I'm salivating looking at it.

That price is in range with my local butcher.
