Gotta love a good tri tip

[barelfly]

Smoke up a tri tip yesterday, but went with a different rub from the usual Santa Maria rub I’ve been using. I picked up  a rub by Oak Ridge BBQ, Carne Crosta that went really well. Smoked at 225* until 125* then seared on the gasser. Came out wonderful!

That should make some nice sandwiches

Well done, Jeremy!  That looks fantastic.

Looks great Jeremy... I have tri-tip on my list to do a 7 hour bath with the Anova WiFi. I'm wondering if I could combine with the SI-2 for the added smoke flavor before the bath?  8)

I par smoke prior to braising or dropping in the water bath, regularly. Works great.

Thanks Walt, I have an A-MAZE-N Smoker Tube and I'm thinking that an hour or so in the SI-2 without power would do the trick for a par smoke and then into the bath.

Ralph,

That would work great! I have used the SI for a QVQ pastrami once. Otherwise I use the kettle for that and it works great! Done Chuckies and another pastrami to try something different.

Give it a try!
