So tonight I did tri-tip and indirect cooking for the first time on my kettle. I wanted to share my learnings that may help others just learning charcoal.
I did one with the tequilla lime recipe here and one with just fresh cracked pepper, salt, and garlic powder. My ususal steak seasoning. Both were very good and hard to pick a favorite.
For the indirect, I used around 1/2 lit in my weber chimney. My learning was that while that was enough heat, after 50 min indirect, I didn't have enough left for searing with. I think next time I will I will add the 1/2 lit onto another 1/2 unlit to carry me through.
Anyone else have experiences on charcoal set up to share?
