    I'm sure it's too late.......

    Kirk... I had the same problem about three weeks ago. I wrapped the meat in heavy tinfoil and let it cool for about an hour. I then placed it in the refrigerator until an hour before I was ready to serve it. I heated the meat in the oven at 225 degrees until it was warm and the juices were...

    tri-tip vs. sirloin tip roast ...

    Jim... Do you smoke it like a rib roast or a little hotter...??? How do you cut it when it's ready to serve? Steaks or thin slices, etc. ... I though it was still quite red in the middle at 147...(which was fine with me) However 125 to 130 would be rare or very rare.. right? And one last...

    tri-tip vs. sirloin tip roast ...

    I got the meat from Sam's and talked briefly with the butcher who said it was a good cut of meat to smoke like a rib roast... I smoked it exactly like I would a rib roast and it turned out really good... I did take it off the smoker at 147 degrees which looked about medium rare.. I wrapped it in...

    Water pan

    Hello Nazzo... Great question... Unfortunately there's not a good answer, because there is no such thing as a good suggestions on where to dump the greasy water... Best thing I found is to use sand... Very easy to clean up... Just wait for the fat to cool, fold it up in the tinfoil and throw...
