    Last Minute Christmas Tri-Tip

    I cooked it at about 255 or so. That seemed to be where the MES was happy yesterday so I just went with it. I really wanted to do brisket but because of the great Arby's shortage of 2014 I wasn't willing to pay more than $6.00 per pound for something that cost half that at the start of the year...

    1st St. Louis Ribs
