MULE'S REVERSE SEAR TRI-TIP IN A MES 40 WITH AMNPS, WITH LOTS OF QVIEW

[themule69]

Today I'm going to be reverse searing a 2.75LB tri-tip in my mes 40. I will be using hickory pellets. I set the mes temp at 125°.I lit the AMNPS on both ends

the flip side. Look at the way the grain of the meat lays.

seasoned up. Note I put a small slice across the grain. Sometimes

it is hard to tell which way the grain is after the cook. I use this trick

with briskets and all kinds of meat. Don't slice very deep as it will

take the nasty stuff on the outside into the meat. It will also let more

juice escape.

Anticipation, anti..ci...pay..uh...shun, izzz  making me wait....fingers drumming....lol

I notch the ends of my briskets before a cook too David, so I can easily see how the meat grain is running afterwards and where to start slicing.
