    Can't decide tri tip method

    I was going to smoke a tri tip to 135 and sear on the grill, then I saw some guys doing a tri tip like a brisket, wrap in foil at 165 with some beef broth and take to 205 or so. Anyone try the brisket method or should I just smoke it the conventional way?

    Beef Rub Tip

    If anyone use a binder like mustard before the apply their rub, try using better than bouillon instead. Wrap tight and put it in the fridge overnight or even better, this is what I do, vac seal your beef. Seems to penetrate better, it's pretty awesome give it a try and you'll be a believer.

    Japanese Knife

    Picked this up on Ebay for $11.00 shipped plus tax of course. 11.5 inch stainless blade, beautiful wood handle. Pretty sharp but I'll touch it up. Guessing it's from the '50's or '60's.

    Flush pump on old Tillia Foodsaver

    Hi, anyone know the procedure for this? I think I vacuumed some blood into the system when vac sealing some meat. Also is there a way to prevent this? I was thinking just partially freezing the meat before the job.

    Chuck Roast Dry Brine

    Has anyone ever dry brined a chuck roast before smoking? I've dry brined steaks with kosher salt on a rack in the fridge for like 8 hours before grilling with excellent results, thought I'd try it with a chuckie.
