Tri Tip was awesome

daddypig,
Your Tri Tip looks deliciously awesome! Please give us your recipe.
Wood?
Internal temp?
Thanks for sharing.

I used a local Western Pa rub and I used 2 oz of hickory and one little piece of lump charcoal. 230 degrees for 1 hr 30 minutes. Internal temp when I pulled it off was 130. I wrapped it in foil and towels and rested for 30 minutes before carving.. My wife liked it more than prime rib.

That's a good looking cook right there.

In advance of the next cook, please provide a mapquest link to your neighborhood. My nose will take over once I get close.

Looks great ! I am new to the forum,May I ask why you added the charcoal ? To cook faster ? Or does it need more heat?

Poacher, not my post initially, but I always add 4 or 5 charcoal briquettes to a cook, or lump charcoal if i can find it. The charcoal gives a nice add to the flavor, and enhances the smoke ring. It does seem to make the smoke more complex.
