Tri-Tip by flashlight

[Chris Allingham]

I need to get my lighting situation squared away...I'm grilling in almost total darkness because of where my grill is located relative to patio lights. I'm thinking LED baseball cap or battery-powered lantern...but for now, a flashlight is the thing.

First grill of 2014...a big honkin' Costco tri-tip, rubbed simply with SusieQ, cooked on the Summit 450. Was a bit overdone on the thinnest end, but nice in the middle!

Mighty fine looking Tri tip Chris. I think you need to purchase a generator and then plug in some spot lights. Think of all the toys you can justify.

Looks good! Wish I could find tri-tips in my area

Oh man, that looks delicious!

Nice color on the tri tip Chris.

Hopefully this year we can see more of your cooks.

Know the feeling of cooking in the dark with a flashlight. Our new house has the poorest excuse for a porch light on the patio, only rated at 25 watts, worthless!
Very nice looking tri tip though. Echo Tony R about seeing more of your cooks.

Yeah, something like this...

I wish the Weber handle light would fit my Summit 450, but the handle is too large.

Exactly! Great looking Tri-Tip.

Great looking TriTip Chris. I like the Petzl headlamps for putting the light where I'm looking.

I have a couple of these. http://www.lowes.com/pd_203213-1373-FL-300NPDQ12_4294857041__?productId=3122291&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&facetInfo=
I clamp then to the eve's of the patio & aim where needed.

Good to see your cook Chris. I think Tri Tip has become one of my favorites. BTW - I use the Weber 6427 clamp on light on the Big Deck rail.

Great looking tri Chris. My sister gave me one of the LED baseball hats last year and I like it for
checking whats on the Weber in the dark. It gets the job done.

 

[Phil Perrin]

Looking good,Mr. A!

Nice tri tip Chris. I use a Coleman LED lantern this time of year all the time. Works real well, you can move the light right where you need it.

Good looking TT, Chris!! Happy 2014!!

 

[JSchlegelmilch]

Looks good in any light!
