Home Cookin' The BBQ/Smokers/Smoked Meats Thread...

For tri tip I keep it really simple. Himalayan pink salt, coarse pepper, maybe some paprika for color. Such a juicy cut. I let the meat do the talking. No injections, just a nice crust.

Damn... hungry again

olive oil
ground cumin
minced garlic
ground coriander
smoked paprika
cayenne pepper
himilayan pink salt and pepper to taste

zukies:
olive oil
smoked salt/pepper to taste
italian herbs

both get the equal amount of heat and time in the smoker. and both turn out pretty damn great. actually, I left the tri tip on the propane grill to sear for a bit too long.

Looks good man.

I made two tri tips. One with the big bad beef rub and one with traditional santa maria seasoning. I also threw a load of those wicked baked beans underneath em.

That looks pornographic.
 
Funny thing, in parts of the country they have no idea what tri-tip is. I moved to Wisconsin a while ago, and went up to a couple of meat counters trying to find it. They had never even heard of tri-tip, much less carry the product. So I spent 7 years tri-tipless until we moved back to SoCal. A LONG 7 years.... ;)

apparently you missed the link in the other post. it covers a lot of things tri tips and the butchers who didn't know exactly much about them.

Is this really a Tri Tip?

hope this helps shine a light on your predicaments while abroad.
 
I am getting a Traeger Junior smoker in a day or two from a buddy. Can't wait to try some of these recipes.

Anyplace around with Traeger pellets?
 
So I guess the Traeger is some sort of smoker/grill hybrid. My buddy who goes to BBQ seminars swears by it.
 
Bbqr's delight pellets rock. Big poppa smokers delivers free on 40lb bag last I looked. Can't go wrong.

Pellet smokers are not grills. More like smokey ovens. If you will be using as a grill you should consider getting aluminum Grill Grates. Will give you the grill effect in a pellet grill.

Or just keep a separate grill for high heat grilling.
 
normally there are many different types of offset smokers. well, let's whittle the categories down to two: offset smokers that suck, and offset smokers that don't. Traeger falls, shall I say heavily, within the latter for a good reason.

great pickup, Mike! you'll get the hang of it by reading up the forums for not just the Traeger, but for other offset smokers as well. I don't have a Weber Smoky Mountain but it is a bullet smoker like mine is, so I've gone to some WSM forums where I get tons of infos and tips. good luck!

any chance of a great smoke out? anyone got a huge backyard?

Haha I was thinkin the samething
 
I just realized that my smoker is a bitch to move around, let alone transport. I could use a small trailer or borrow a pickup truck.
 
a bbq smoke fest with Kings fans? If we did it at Staples we just might be able to take over the smell from the hot dog carts.

My smoker is on wheels but I don't have a truck to move it in. Mine is a Rec Tec

We'd need a park or something like a beach parking lot for a full day to do it right. Now there's a thought... Ice Crew in attendance... some staff, tv, or players... do a cookout in Manhattan Beach and just let the smell attract the players. For that, I would borrow a truck and get my rig out to the South Bay.

Kings-Q ... now that would be something.

*proceeds to me....er.... Kings Care*
