Haven’t done a Tri Tip in a year or so because never had much luck with them. Now that I’ve been on this forum and have seen how they should be done I decided to give it another shot.
Going with the performer indirect with a reverse sear, a little hickory wood (out of oak) for smoke.
Sides of homemade stove top beans and Barbs homemade potato salad.
Start out making this simple but great tasing bbq beans on the stove added to this was bacon and onions browned on the stove
Tri Tip seasond wiith Garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt and a little cayenne, paprika, dried rosemary
At 125 IT direct sear for about 3 minuets each side
After the 15 minuet rest
Perfect med/rare
Your Plate
This Tri was melt in your mouth tender and very flavorful I am very happy with the results and thanks to all who shared their knowledge to make this happen.
Now you may be asking why the title of “I’ll never be able to do a Tri Tip Again”
Well my wife Barb loves Frank Sinatra anything Frank did, movies, CDs, anything. So she informs me that there is a Frank Sinatra special on the tube tonight. That’s okay with me as I like most of what he did so we’ll settle in after dinner to watch the show.
What she didn’t tell me was that it was a 1978 Lawrence Welk special “Salute to Frank Sinatra” OMG NO!
Look at the pictures below yellow suits, red suits, and the hair! About half way through this horror of a show I thought I was going to hurl! Totally destroyed a half dozen of Frank’s best songs. Even three fingers of good bourbon in one gulp didn’t help. I wanted to gouge my eyes out and put cement in my ears to make it go away, but being the good hubby I endured the whole show.
So from now on every time I think about my first perfectly done melt in your mouth tri tip all I will remember is Welk doing his “Ah one an a two I’m gonna pee on my shoe” thing he does every time he starts up his band!

Not very 
I'm having flash backs of mom sitting us down to watch that evil show. Dad always found a way not to be around for Lawrence, but the kids were shown no mercy. I'm going to go have a few belts and hit my head against the wall.
