While it has been quite some time since I cooked a TriTip, after seeing this discussion of seasonings, I was reminded of my favorite, decidedly non BBQ, SPG and Oregano seasoning. Think I'll try using some Cavender's Greek Seasoning whenever I do my next TriTip. While not a normal BBQ...

Sherry your brisket looks Good, especially for a first effort!
Hickory would have been fine for a brisket.
Oak, most often Post Oak, may be the standard for beef but beef handles, and IMO, should stronger smoke woods than fruit woods. Pellet cookers are often accused of not providing enough...
Best coffee I remember drinking was from one of my college room mates father's Corningware Electric Percolator.
Then somebody gave him a Mr. Coffee and he started using it to appease the person who gave it to him. Coffee never was the same again.
Sadly it looks like Corningware Percolators are...
Lack of smoke flavor is one of the biggest complaints you see about pellet grills.
As others have mentioned, some brands of grills seem better than others and the same with pellets. I don't have experience with more than one brand of grill for comparison.
I use LumberJack pellets since I can...
My old offset had a piece of EMT conduit for an exhaust stack. It's galvanized, just like the HVAC stuff you're talking about. I seasoned it real good and never had any troubles.
Stacks just don't get hot enough to be dangerous unless you have a pit fire and then you have other things to worry...
Rather than using chips, try using chunks if you have the room and don't soak them either.
The only reason I've ever soaked wood before smoking with it was on some molding rejects to raise some whiskers so the wood would catch fire easier. Really slick machined wood surfaces don't catch as...
I quite agree, eat what you want.
However I think you should know the truth about what you are eating to make an informed decision.
Hiding crap in supposedly "good/safe for you" foods and additives is a crime in my opinion.
My mother was diabetic and she cheerfully ate Equal and foods with...
Splenda has maltodextrin in it as a bulking agent.
Some say maltodextrin is worse than sugar.
Do your own research.
I avoid Splenda when possible.
ETA - What I forgot to say is maltodextrin has a very high glycemic index.
I'm a believer in relatively tall stacks. More so than normal for many of the older smokers. Some of the newer builders have lengthened, and enlarged, their stacks even going to the point of fold-able stacks for transport.
My old offset had a vertical and another 2 ft or so of stack on top...
About what temp did and roughly how long did you cook the corn?
I've gone to cooking corn in the microwave and have been known to shuck and then finish them on the grill for some char but would like a starting point for cooking in the shuck on the grill the entire time.
TIA
From your description and pics sounds like you have a flat and a point. The flat, with the fat cap, and the point with the internal fat. Gotta watch when buying corned beef as they sell both parts of the brisket. Both are good, just depends on the cut you prefer and;/or your purpose at the time.
In the world of cookin' with wood a 25 degree temp variance really is kinda obsessing. You most likely have more than that with your kitchen oven.
So, you've been happy for years But..............
You now think you need to take longer to do the same cooking.
Is all of this about right...
I'm one of those ole timers who still can't come to terms with the new notion that it's safe to eat pork cooked to 145°F here in the U.S. No way I'd eat it raw.
In all the discussion of holding, one method I didn't see(but could have missed) mentioned is using an electric turkey roaster. Many of them can be set to ~140°F. I know of some folks over the web that do so.
