Hello from Kalifornia

[raven1911]

Well, just got a Great Outdoors smoker 3405 and can't wait to use her. I am thinking of doing a tritip and some ribs tomorrow for new years. The tritip is about 2 lbs and we will get spareribs. I love cooking and grilling but never smoked anything yet, so I am a total newbie here. Thanks to all for your wonderful information. Its nice to be able to learn from others here and know what works and what doesn't.

Thanks and hello to all!

Welcome to SMF !!!
Good luck on your 1st smoke and if you haven't done so yet, be sure and fire up that new smoker and burn off the oils on the new metal and season the interior walls with lard, vegrable oil or just spray them with Pam. Then smoke some wood chips through it before adding your food. Don't want your first smoke tasting like new metal.

Going to do my first smoke today!! Looking at ribs and tritip. Need more info on tritip cooking though. Any information would be helpful. Have a 2.2 lb tip that needs smoking. How long and at what temp?

Welcome....Kali here as well.

I did my Tri-tip about 275-300 degree's but the ribs would need to be lower.
