    Three Sunday Tri Tips

    @Smokin' Gunny - Smoked them about 2-2 1/2 hours.  All three were around 4 lbs. each.  Pulled them when they hit 140 degrees.  Smoker was steady at 225 'till the last 20-30 minutes and bumped them up to 240 to hurry them up a bit (the crowd was beginning to get restless).  My experience is they...

    First brisket bust

    Just bought a cheap one ($15) at Wallmart yesterday when my Maverick took a dump on me while I had 3 tri tips in the smoker.  It's even a remote thermo.  Don't know how long it will last, but it saved my A$$ yesterday!

    Three Sunday Tri Tips

    Thanks SB....out here in California we call tri tips "poor man's prime rib".  It is definitely tender and tasty, especially when smoked slow and low.  The only reason I bumped up to 240 degrees for the last half hour was because everyone was salivating around the smoker.

    Three Sunday Tri Tips

    Smoked three tri tips today and I must say they came out great.... Used yellow mustard and Henry's Mohave Garlic Pepper rub.  Smoked at 225-240 to 140 degrees using red oak for smoke.

    Dark Ribs

    If your St Louis ribs are to fatty, try a different butcher.

    Dark Ribs

    I think you're really going to like the St. Louis ribs better than the baby backs.  A lot meatier and better flavor.

    Dark Ribs

    I use John Henry's Pecan Rub and it puts a nice redish/orangeish color on my ribs.  As you can see in the attached picture, even though I've got sauce on them, the color of the ribs looks nice.  This is a rack of St Louis ribs cut in half.  I use EVOO on the ribs so that a nice thick coat of rub...

    Smoked Country Style Ribs (CSR's)

    Thanks guys.  I thought is was me and something I did (or didn't do).  I have two more pieces of these in the freezer.  What else can I use this for other than trying to smoke them like I did yesterday?  They had a real "cooked ham" taste to them.  The glaze, like I stated earlier, was great.  I...

    Smoked Country Style Ribs (CSR's)

    Smoked some CSR's yesterday and was not totally pleased with the outcome.  Bought these huge CSR's at Costco and they were really fatty.  Cut a lot of it off prior to smoking.  I was really pleased with the glaze that I used and the final product looked really nice.  I applied a rub using...

    Travel with cooked tri tip

    Thanks Willie.  I think I'll take it to 140 and wrap it.  Should end up medium rare to medium and hopefully won't go past that stage.

    Travel with cooked tri tip

    Smoked my first tri tip last week and it came out wonderful. Would like to do another one next week and take it to my daughter's house. Problem is she is two hours away. When I smoked the tri tip last week, I took it up to 144 degrees IT. My question is, can I smoke my tri tip to like 135...
