Tri-tip like a brisket

[SmokinEdge]

I am going to try taking a Tri-tip to 200ish in the smokehouse today like a brisket. Anybody else has done this?

Tri-tip done like a brisket

Today, my wife pulled a small tri-tip out of the fridge and asked me if I could smoke it. I got to thinking about how much she likes brisket, so I set my mind up to try to do it brisket-like. I've seen others do this on this forum, and wanted to do it myself. Last time I smoked a tri-tip, I...

I posted a thread here once upon a time. Will have to look for it.

Near as I can tell, here''s the thread that started it all for smoking a tri tip like a brisket.

smoked tri tip just like brisket

Us redneck Georgia boys define a Tri-tip as what you leave for a Waffle House waitress that winks at you. One day i am going to find a true Tri-tip, smoke it, and enjoy it. Good luck my firend. Let us know how you did it and how it turned out ! Please

Do it, works great. Just make sure you slice the right direction(s) it's a little tricky... some good videos out there if you haven't done it before.

Wrapped in paper around 160 and and pulled around 200 or so. Probe tender. It was GREAT.
