It was just me and my wife for our Christmas Dinner. I had planned to do a Standing Rib Roast but that is postponed until this Friday when my Son and family will be over. Went instead with a nice prime tri tip and sided it up with a zucchini squash casserole and some twice baked potatoes. It was about 30 degrees outside but decided to do the TT on my small WSM. Cooked at 250 with pecan for smoke. Took about an hour.
Had quite a bit of prep on the sides so got started on those first. Earlier in the day baked a couple of potatoes for the twice baked later in the evening.

Six medium zucchini in the bottom of 2 qt baking dish.

Some shredded Cheddar.

Added a couple of chopped yellow onions and some pickled Jalapenos. Added a mixture of heavy cream, three eggs and salt and pepper. Topped with second layer of Cheddar.

Put casserole in fridge until later. Scooped the potatoes and built the twice baked for later too.

The meat.

Seasoned with SYD rub.

I usually start the Minion with about 6 or 7 coals but bumped it up due to the temps and wind.

Getting up to temp.

On WSM.
