That's some good looking grub you got going on there. Nice use of the kettle's versatility.

Point for sure.

Looks real good, especially that fatty. Wife not a big olive fan though. What else do you stuff with?

I have a tri tip waiting to be smoked. It will be my first. What is your typical goal for IT? Any special marinade you like?

Love the pics.

Thank you Al! I was desperate to stuff it with something loosely associated with a meatloaf...olives fit the bill! Next time I'd like to figure out some type of umami rich sauce to put in there with the olives and I want to get it wrapped so that the stuffin' is in the middle like a donut (with no swirl). Practice time!

I hear you Richie! My wife was pissed. I softens the blow though knowing it came from a double pack of untrimmed steaks on sale for 2.99/lb. After fat I'm probably looking at more like 4.99/lb but still better than 12!!! That is high!

Thanks gmc2003 ! When I first got the slown 'n sear and the tiptop I thought maybe I would eventually ditch the WSM for this smaller set up. It does work well for these 300 degree + cooks but I've found that the WSM is superior when it comes closer to 200 degrees. The best answer of course is to have one of everything!! haha!!

Hey SmokinGame ! You know, honestly, I think you can stuff a fatty with anything you like. Most I've seen are actually breakfast oriented and use breakfast sausage, so breakfast type stuffin' there. I saw a pic on this site of one where a guy had inserted some hardboiled eggs and he had a chunk with a perfect bisection of egg and it was a thing of beauty.

For tritip (I actually rub, not marinade...that was a typo) and other steaks the ticket in my opinion is to salt the meat like a day before you rub and when you make a rub do not put any salt in it. That way you can get the salt (dry brine) perfect everytime and still exercise some judgement in how much rub you want to apply without worrying about over or under salting. My rubs tend to be mostly garlic, some paprika, some ground black pepper, some dried onion bits (they contribute to great bark IMO), and some dried mustard. I also like a lot of sugar on my pork shoulders but none on my beef.

Everything looking fantastic here! Going to try all 3 of these soon. Haven't got around to any of these yet!

Good times hagewood91 ! Fire it up! Making the bacon weave alone will bring you some satisfaction!

I'll keep that in mind oddegan . This time it is going to meet its end in some strange tacos.
