Another Tri Tip

[Blues1]

My wife and I really appreciate your recipe for the cabbage. It was a great topic of discussion. Im going to try something this week with our cabbage. Will follow your cabbage prep instructions. Then inject the cabbage body with a butter hot sauce/salsa liquid, or a seasoned/spiced olive oil to give a another layer of flavor. Figure about 3 or 4 injectors worth in the main leaves depending upon the flavor. Then smoke her in my Little Chef with alder or beech @165 deg until tender.

Injection sounds good. Be sure to let us know how it went. I'll be watching...I will say at 165 it will take a long time. Won't matter as long you you have that much. You can always finish it off in the oven or crank up the temp if time becomes an issue

Will do. Thanks for suggestion. Plan: Smoke the cabbage around 2-3 hours (2-3 pans of sawdust) in the LC for flavor, move to the air fryer, whole or wedged, and cook @350 deg (crisp setting) 10-15 minutes or until probe tender.

Thanks for the like Blues1. Really appreciate it. Now let's hope I can beat the missus to the cabbage before she gets it and makes Kohlrouladen from it. LOL!

Thank you. Sweet potato on the smoker is my wife's absolute favorite. So you know what that means! :)

Love tri-tip and sweet potato. Always been pretty indifferent to cabbage but that looks like a pretty cool way to make it.

Blues 1 Here is the final product. My wife and I, and our neighbors who smelled the smoker, thank you for the idea & suggestions. This is a keeper. The end result was very good. The Alder wood gave the cabbage a mild touch of the smokiness predominant in the cooking and plating aroma. The taste was sweet and the texture very similar to butter cabbage. It was tender and al dente. The final test was the Mrs. trying it. Guess she liked it, told me to make it again this week. So, with the lone survivor of tonight's meal being a serving or so of cabbage, tomorrow will be alder smoked green cabbage spring rolls, with pecan smoked trout fillets and a green cucumber salad with poppy seed cream dressing. For those who are interested, I attached a PDF file to this note with the recipes along with the pictures.

Hadn't thought of that. Another one added to my "to try" list. That'd be a winner no doubt!
