Clematis FINALLY bloomed. The only blossom all summer so far. Second year growth too.

Had a Tri Tip left over from the two-pack I got at Costco and wanted to try something different. Had the idea of cooking it like a brisket since it is somewhat of a tougher cut. Talked to Bentley who said Jimsbarbecue had a recipe for that. Sent Jim a PM and he got back to me with his recipe. 

“Trim any excess fat and silver skin from the Tri-Tip roast
Rub the Tri-Tip roast with an extra virgin olive oil and your favorite Seasoning
Wrap the roast with plastic and refrigerate overnight
Configure your wood pellet smoker-grill for indirect cooking (I used a MAK 2-Star)
Preheat your grill to 225ºF using Hickory or wood pellets of choice
Smoke the TRISKET for approximately 2 hours till the internal temperature reaches 140ºF
Double wrap the TRISKET in heavy duty foil  add 1/4 cup bbq sauce and return to grill
Increase the pit temperature to 300ºF
Remove the TRISKET when the internal temperature reaches 200ºF
Rest the TRISKET in the foil for 15 minutes before carving against the grain
For planning purposes: Total time ~ 4 hours - 30 min preheat/2 hours @225º/hour & 15 min @300º/Rest 15 minutes”

Ready for rub

Rubbed down with some (no longer available) Memphis Smokehouse Rub.

On the grill at 225.
These Memphis Grills sure don’t put out much smoke.  May have to take it back.

Had a pan of water under it to help with moisture. I think because of that it took a little longer to get to 140

Added 1/4 cup of Wee Willys Original and into the foil

Pulled at 201 and let it rest in the foil per recipe.
Looks & smells delicious!

Looks very good and the Kings Hawaiian are a very nice touch!  Now I need to go make some beans for dinner!

So how do you like this cooking method versus what you typically used?

[Free Mr. Tony]

I've done tritip cooked like brisket many times for family parties. It's always a hit. I still like it cooked like medium rare roast beef slightly better, but like both ways. It's a little less rich than brisket sometimes, so it's a nice alternative.

So how do you like this cooking method versus what you typically used?

This was only my second attempt at Tri Tip since my Costco rarely carries it in this part of the country. My first attempt which I posted a while back followed the more conventional method. This method was more tender as expected. Seems brisket I have done has more flavor. Between these two methods I would say, from my VERY LIMITED experience that the conventional method might be a tad better for flavor. Would really need to do a side by side taste test (there’s an idea for someone).
