    First Tri-Tip

    Thanks bwarbiany.  Very good info to know.  I'll just keep getting my meats at our local butcher, Hottinger's Meats.

    Costco is hit or miss. A lot of the popular cuts of meat get sold out real quick. I've sometimes asked the meat guys in the back to get meats that aren't in the cases and they go back and it for me in their big fridges in back.

    First Time Tri Tip

    Smoked a Tri Tip this afternoon/evening and it came out amazing.  Followed Jeff's 2012 article on smoking Tri Tip and it was great.  Used mustard and John Henry's Mojave Garlic Pepper Rub.  Applied the rub last night and let it set in the fridge till this afternoon.  Smoked it at about 235...

    Hey Cathy.  I see you're in the Covina/Pomona area.  I'm in Chino Hills.  There are a couple of places to get decent meat.  One is Pomona Food Locker which is close to you.  You can make a little drive down the 60 fwy to Central in Chino and go south to Chino Ave and turn left.  First street on...

    Help!

    Thanks Eric.  I'm just learning and yes, heat control with a ECB smoker is definitely a challenge.  Picked-up some weber vents and will be making mods as soon as I can get some time to do them.  Also want to seal off the lid.  Again, thanks for the comments.

    Help!

    Sorry I didn't reply earlier, was trying to get ready for the Dodger game.  We ended up eating early and everything came out OK.  Chops were really good.  Used some Rufus Teague's sweet honey sauce to finish them off.  I think my main problem was to much fuel in the smoker.  Should have used...
