Hey everyone,
I’ve been cooking tri-tips on my WSM for a few years now, and I just wanted to outline my method for anyone who is interested. I’ve managed to never screw one up doing it this way, and it’s my favorite way of cooking almost any steak.
Fill up a chimney full of charcoal. I use the Weber hardwood briquettes because I find
they burn the most evenly.
Light the chimney and let it go until it’s ashed over. Place a decent layer of charcoal briquettes over the bottom of the charcoal grate with the ring installed. Dump the chimney on top of the unlit charcoal and let it sit until they’ve all ashed over.
While the charcoal is getting ready, I season the tip with some SPG. That’s it.
Assemble the smoker (no water pan) and check the temperature. When it hits 400° put the steak on the top grate. Cook it for five minutes on each side, flipping it every 5 minutes until it’s done. Usually a 2 to 2 1/2 lb tri-tip will take about 20 to 25 minutes to 130°. I’ve attached pictures of the results from Friday night.
Hope y’all like it. Have a great Sunday!
