Vic, looks great. I'm fairly new to smokers, but was eying that tri tip. It seems at my local Costco they offered "Beef Loin tri tip whole peeled". Any clue what "peeled" means?
If I understand correctly, it's the same as the tri tip steaks you'd grill, only purchased as a whole, then you'd smoke it. Is it night and day difference from grilling? Do you prefer smoking chunks of meat like this as opposed to grilling individual steaks?
