Marvelous!!! Looks danged good! (beware the fork police)  What's the orange thingamabobber? A visual point just so we'll ask?

gotta be olive oil.  Tri tip is a nice buttery steak to me.  Looking good.

[eyeguy 54]

olive oil it is   it got up to 142 on me  I think 135 would be perfect

[lovebigbluegills]

That looks awesome eyeguy!!!!

Looks fabulous! Royce Rib Stuff? Is that available in stores?   Nice to see the little furry supervisor in the 2nd photo again too. 

[eyeguy 54]

my own memphis style rub. mmmm

That looks real nice !!!  Very nice cut of beef.  The grain is very noticeable on a tri tip.  Cutting against the grain is a must as well and is easy to see.  good luck.

Smoking beef roast is great. Tried it once and it was so easy and delish that I'll probably do it once a month now.

I think I'm going to try one on sunday. There's been a few on here lately and they look dandy!!!

they are really good. Friend did one when I did mine and injected it with hienz7 and soy sauce. took it to 135. that was really good also. he lives a mile away so I brought some of mine over for a taste test.  we called it a tie since they were both dandy.

Would you go with a sirloin tip roast? Or eye of round roast?

Both are on special this week at the local supermarket.

[eyeguy 54]

tri tip is what I bought on special. its like a big sirloin steak   remember to cut against grain

[lovebigbluegills]

I'll be sure to put some pictures on here when I do it.

[ThunderLund78]

Both would work. If you go with eye of round, throw bacon on it. Actually put bacon on either of them, couldn't  hurt

.....bacon with lamburger....hmmm....

isnt it a bad idea to MELD animal species!

I grind bacon into the ground beef.  It's awesome.  You can never go wrong with the grinding.

I think the tri tip is way different than those other two.  I've tried it and while they are good they are different

Sounds and looks great guys, I've smoked several , not tri tips but always smoked em at a lower temp  until an internal of around 140 then they went in a big drip pan covered.  Brought the heat up so we could shred and make French dips,  but I gotta say I'm gonna have to try pulling earlier and slicing next time..nice work.

Cook to about medium or medium rare for cuts that are lean. 

[eyeguy 54]

135.  mmmmmmmmm

 

[reinhard1]

Sirloin Tip or eye of round should be pulled at around 130-135.  Same with the tri tip also in my opinion.  I've done ball tips before [bottom sirloins] whole and with bacon on top pulled them at 130 and put them in au jus right away.  Great that way.  tri tips are more like a steak.   good luck.
