First Tri Tip Roast

[Rafter H BBQ]

Hey all, gonna fire up the GMG and do a Tri Tip and probably a chicken as well. My first TT, so wish me luck. Try to include some Q view along the way. Hope it all turns out ok but I guess worse case, I get to fire up the smoker :grilling_smilie: :yahoo: WHB

Just remember....very MR is best for a TT, slice in half at the point and then turn and slice diagonally...enjoy....Willie

 

[Rafter H BBQ]

Thanks Willie, I will do that. I appreciate your input. Justin

Test to see if Q view is working, if it is working here's the TT !

Just getting ready to put a little seasoning on !

Tri's can be very very simple.... Me personally like medium so i'll cook to 135 IT and then do a quick hot sear over fire.  

Seasoning i like to olive oil and season with a good steak spog rub...large grind.

Thanks Keith, I was just getting er seasoned, have the olive oil and then was gonna use some garlic salt, sea salt and coarse ground black pepper. Glad ya chimed in here. Thanks, Justin

Well, after my daughter (she's 6) helped dad season the TT, now it's just waiting for the GMG to get up to temp !

So after reading some posts, wanted to catch the drippings from the TT, but wasn't quit equipped for it so here's a catch pan with a rib rack holding the TT. I'll call it my Redneck Support to my TT. As one of my comic favs would say "You can't make fun of a Redneck unless you are one, and I are one". Justin

So out of my Redneck Drippins contraption, I got no drippings.... Am I doing something wrong or is this normal ?? First ever TT, Thanks, Justin

 

[shinny]

I haven't smoked a TT yet, but the Chucky I did yesterday had two or three drops in the pan and that was all. 

 

[Rafter H BBQ]

Was it good ?

 

[shinny]
