I wanted to make sure everyone knows that I still grill and don't always use the sv tank

tri tip procured from O Ottamanelli and Sons, NYC and dusted with garlic salt and pepper

I fired up the primo jr a good 1.5 hrs prior to cooking, because I had to take my daughter to skating and I needed it to be ready to go when I got home. IMO, its one of the major advantages to the ceramic, I get it hot well before I need to use it and it waits for me.

Something about the light tonight, but I noticed something that I've never seen before: right above the handle, the word "junior" is cast in the lid. It blends in with the bumps, but its there.

I threw on plenty of oak prior to cooking

Your photos always look fantastic. I bet you could grill an old shoe and I would want some. Nice job J! Is that a litle parsley in the rub I see?

sure, it probably would have had less gray, but I was going for max crust, and the center was moist enough to compensate for the overcooked parts. My daughter's "finished" plate was a mess of strips of gray, she only ate the pink and avoided the outside because it had "too much spicy pepper."

As a rule, I don't usually sv anything thinner than a couple of inches. I find a nice long rest on the counter prior to cooking works well enough (especially in the summer when the house is warmer). plus I like a nice crust, and don't want it to overcook before I get that.

I used Penzey's garlic salt, which has a few flakes of green. Normally I go with Kevin's SM rub, but I never got around to tracking it down and I was pressed for time. Plus my wife likes to "follow the recipe" and the standard SM rub is garlic salt, salt, and pepper.
 
Yeah I was starting to wonder about you...I thought maybe you had sold your grill in favor of the SV tank...haha just joking, great looking tri tip!!!!
