Pulled tri tip?

[BlevinsT]

Has anyone smoked/slow cooked a tri tip until it will pull apart? I want to make tri tip enchiladas this way but have only smoked them to the medium rare stage.

Yep.. it's really good!

I don't know if it's quite fall-apart but very tender and very good.

Several people here have done it.. I have a recipe over at https://www.smoking-meat.com/brisket-style-tri-tip if you're interested.

Several SMF members smoke their tri-tips like a brisket.
In addition to the link Jeff provided above, here is a thread on the forums too.

Advice Smoking a Tri Tip like a brisket

I put the tri tip in and had the temperature set at 225 and smoked until internal temp was 165 degrees pulled and wrapped in butchers paper and have had it going for another hour and the internal temp has actually dropped to 158 degrees . I was wondering if these tri tip roast have a stall...

Sorry that I cannot provide any further advice or tips since I've never smoked a tri-tip like a brisket...
I just don't have the heart to do that to a tri-tip. LOL

Never to pull apart but smoke them on a regular basis. My family will not eat med rare but love the beefy flavor. Did this one last weekend.

I have never cooked beef other than brisket more than rare/medium rare but saw a YouTube video where it was done in a smoker in cast iron and filled 3/4 full with beer and beef broth so I tried it and it came out awesome. I'll post pictures of the enchiladas when they are out of the oven. Meat tastes great!
