Cold smoked a tri-tip with oak that was seasoned with Tatonka Dust for an hour and a half.

Then cooking indirect smoked the tri-tip and twice baked potato's with a chunk of hickory over the Vortex. (Our Golden Retriever Grissom likes hanging around the grill!)

When the internal temp of the tri-tip reached 100º placed it over the Vortex for a quick sear bringing its temp up to 125º and then let it rest...

The Vortex is a searing machine!

Twice baked potatoes just don't get much better than this!
