That sounds like a disappointing lesson to learn, but definitely an important one. I'll be sure to pay more attention to the grain in my tri-tips now too.
I have done that before, the only bad side effect that I've seen from it is that it can generate a lot of smoke. But it's not the nice clean smoke that I normally have running through the smoker, it seems thicker and sometimes darker. Maybe it is a big no-no, but I haven't seen any definitive...
Thanks Blazer! It sure didn't last long, maybe next time I'll do two and there will be a slice around for me to share with you. What kind of marinade do you normally use? I wouldn't mind giving that a try sometime.
Thanks a lot J.P. Under $3/lb?! Man I am jealous of that! I thought I had a got a decent deal, but that would be great. At that price you could experiment all kinds of things. Try bringing the IT up sometime, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Those look great! I've never smoking beef ribs, I don't see them very often either. Did you separate them to speed up your cook time or is it just better that way? Either way, I'll have to give that a try for sure.
I actually did this a while ago but still wanted to share because it turned out so well.
I was at the store looking for something to smoke and saw this beautiful tri-tip, so I had to get it! There are a lot of things that I haven’t tried to smoke but really want to, and this was one of those...
Nice looking Tri-tip, and great looking pintail! The family and I went to a kids birthday party this weekend, to another family's home, and they had a pheasant, and several of the different types of ptarmigan on the walls. This was the first time my wife has admitted to me that she thought an...
Those look like some pretty nice setups too. I think I would really like being able to check temps from inside, especially when there's snow on the ground. Thanks for the recommendations!
Thanks for the kind words Matt. The moisture and texture was fantastic! I did think about brining, but decided to keep this one really simple and just do a rub. Maybe next time I will do a brine. As far as temp probes go, they sure can be picky sometimes. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford a...
It's a little more than you'd like to spend, but I have an OK Joe Longhorn Combo. Which has a smaller cook chamber for smoking, but also has a propane side for any quick grilling or finishing off ribs and things like that. I haven't done any mods or sealed anything and it smokes like a champ! I...
I knew when I got the box that it wasn't going to be as good as using the actually smoker, but I still had higher hopes. It's too bad. I'll try to retain some of the smoke next time I try, maybe that'll be a little better. But I'm not sure when that will be, I'm sticking with the stick burner...
This is a real newbie thing of me to admit but, I just figured out that everything in your signature line was a link. I'm glad I figured that out! Great write up! I've thought about regulating cook time by temp for ribs in the past but thought that the bones would make it inaccurate or...
I'm glad I'm not the only person that has that issue. I think, although I'm probably wrong, it has to do with the thermometer probe. It was in the 40's when I pulled the loin out of the grill, so I thought maybe the wire end of the probe got cold and it averaged with the tip.... blah blah blah...
