This is what my bbq area looked like last night at this time.IMG_20210201_172651.jpg
Per Case's order I got the shovel out so I could get cooking today.

While it is still flurrying I think the worst of the snow (that started Saturday night and has yet to stop) is over. I got a tri tip (aka California cut) and on the kettle with some chicken breast and Russet Spuds it went.IMG_20210202_153100.jpg

Kettle crushing with the diffuser between 260 and 275, I pulled the tri tip I 120.

Pulled the potatoes and turned four of the five into twice baked cheddar pototas.

Lit a chimney of lump and used the vortex upside down. Lid temps got to 500. Got the tri tip over the coals and the potatoes back on around the outside.IMG_20210202_173149.jpg

I pulled it at 129 per Darryl's guidance and let it rest. IMG_20210202_180916.jpg
I probed it right before I cut it 135, Darryl great advice!

It was a great meal after all that snow.
 
Nice! Perfect illustration of why there's no "grilling" season!! :) TT looks great, hopefully the California steak warmed you up a bit on a snowy PA evening! :)

What’s that white stuff all over the place??
Nice tri-tip, I’m going to do a prime one for the Super Bowl, can’t wait. I just hope we don’t get any of the white stuff around here.
 
Looks great! TT seem to be hard to find around here right now.
Yeah, the only place I find them here in PA is Walmart (everything I have seen one I pick it up), I think because it is a national chain they carry them. I have asked my two local butchers and neither have ever sold them.

My kids and I shovel our driveway and sidewalk and the next three houses to our one side, as they are all older individuals. We also did a neighbor down the street who my wife works with because he is sick right now. So after shoveling after dinner on Saturday, and again on Sunday, and then again tonight my kids said we are not doing this tomorrow night 😂.
 
Great job on that cook Michael and thanks so much for taking the time to photograph it and share with us.

Luckily, I haven't had to shovel much this winter here in KC..........yet!!!

Your a braver person then most concerning the elements, excellent results!
 
That meal looks fantastic!
I like how you are teaching your kids to help others. But I don't blame them for drawing the line after that weekend! :LOL:
 
Michael, that's a killer cook. Got to say that would never happen here. With my meds it would take 4-5 hours to warm up again. Wish I could though.

Yay, I feel really luck to have great kids, who help around the house really well, and think of others when they can, I was with them I didn't want to shovel another day either.

Thanks Rich, what I hear you saying is I better get out there and do it as often as possible while I am still young enough to do it. So I say to that I will.
Did you see what I secured yesterday?
