First tri tip is on!

[venture]

Nice job guys!

Check out that piece of meat before you rub it, and you will see the grain running three directions.  Remembering how the grain runs will help you in slicing after it is cooked.

Now to find a tri tip on sale.

Awesome job, Pit!

I love TT's, but they have been expensive as hell here.  $12.50 for two...

  at Sams they are running $5.49/lb!  We can get a rib eye for that price.... but I guess we can still get them.

This is a pretty old post so you might not get a response from the OP. I like to smoke mine at 180°-200° if can. Mostly though around 240-250. The lower pit temps allow for more smoke absorption on cute like this that cook faster.

Not to Hijack this thread but, have a look in the beef section of this thread, there are a number of tri tip cooks:

LOL! I was wondering how this got dug back up when I only put a link in the response.

To answer your question, I believe it was around 300 or so. At least thats were I do them now. Not too low, not too high.. I wouldn't go over 350. JMHO
