After 3 hrs in the smoker, it came out medium, medium-rare in some spots this time around, but good enough for government work:-)

This kind of government work I don't mind at all:-)

Man that looks delicious. I wish I could get tri-tips around here, but I can't find them. Looks wonderful.

I never see them in the grocery store but have seen them a couple times at a Trader Joe's near me. Haven't bought one yet, but I may need to give one a try. They look awesome!

Tri Tips are definately a flavorable and juicy cut of meat. Here's a chart to id the location of this cut:

Chris, since you live in the St.Paul area, I'm sure you have some decent butcher shops. You may want to give them a call and ask them for a Tri Tip cut. It may also be known as Sirloin Tip Roast or Sirloin Roast in your area (but don't hold me to it). Just give your local butcher a ring and they'll hook you up:-)

Argh, so depressing....Freezer FULL of pork and chicken and beef.....Fridge full of leftovers
that need to be whittled through. Plus the landlady and her grandson have been bad, so no meat for
them. Looks like beer and cigars this weekend only. Might fire up the smoker and cook up some burgers
if someone hands me meat. But I think this weekend, I hoard my meat. Sad. I love my pseudo-smoker.

BABOTL herf tomorrow, so that means fatties for the herf...

They're all wrapped up in foil for the last hour or so of cooking tomorrow at Ratters in the oven.

BTW, that's an 18" roll of foil - these things are huge. Just for a lark, I weighed one prior to cooking... it was about 5lbs.
