I got a 4 lbs. Boston Butt a while ago. I was really surprised that it took me nearly as long to cook it as it did the 10 pounders I usually do. (It took 10 hours.) I might have just had bad luck though. It still tasted good.
So, it's a brisket substitute with Tri Tip. I think we should call it a Trisket!!! Thanks for entertaining my confused mind. I've never seen that way of cooking a tri tip before. I always learn good stuff from you! Thanks!!!
I am genuinely curious as to why you would cook a tri tip this way. Obviously, you've done it before and you liked it. So, I'm curious about a bunch of things: 1) Was there a fat cap on it? 2) Was it dry? 3) How's the flavor and texture affected?
I have the full sized chimney. It was all that was on the shelf at my Lowe's when I went to get my smoker. I've never found myself wanting a smaller one, it works whether I'm firing up 10 coals or a whole chimney full.

A friend of mine is really darn good at CrossFit. It seems like every year she goes to the CrossFit Games. This year was no different. One of the traditions for Games athletes is to have a fundraiser to help them defray the costs of going to Wisconsin for a week to compete. My friend always does...
That looks good to me!! I was curious about that cut of meat when I read Chris' article about it. But, I haven't seen it anywhere yet. Since I haven't done one, feel free to disregard, but what about injecting?
I’m cooking for a fundraiser that starts tomorrow morning. I’m using the same Boston Butts that I normally do. They usually take me right at 13 hours at 250* when I do them one at the time in my 18.5” WSM. Any idea how cooking 3 at once will affect my cook length? Thanks in advance!
I've never tried to calculate my yield, but that's why you can change the percent of yield in that calculator...to adjust for your normal yield. We all have different standards of how much fat we want left in. :)
