I love seeing Texans with such a passion for BBQ and food❤

I am surprised as too how many people haven’t done this. I tried smoked Tri Tip before I tried brisket. You need both in your life!

One of my favorite things to make on the smoker. Just the right amount of food for my family and a much shorter cook than a brisket

Never thought about smoking a tri, but makes sense especially for smaller gatherings where a brisket is too much.

Thanks to Reddit, I tried this a few months ago and was just as surprised. Being from Texas, Tri Tip isn’t a thing. Well, I married a Cali woman, and learned about it. Now, she prefers it this way over the hot and fast that she grew up with. I prefer it too cause it’s way cheaper than brisket.

I've never cooked a brisket. I never wanted to spend all that money just to mess up brisket. So I "learned" or practiced rather cooking brisket using Tri tip. I friggen love Tri tip. I never made the switch to trying to cook brisket.

Did a tri tip yesterday like we do our brisket. WOW we were so amazed. Brought it to 185° the wrapped it for a few hours. Very tender. We couldn't afford brisket but the tip was very affordable. Thank you

I'm glad you tried it, one of my favorite cooks. Some said picanna would do the same but wasn't even close. Maybe I do this again over the weekend!

Looks amazing. I typically buy choice tri-tip at Costco. They're always well trimmed. The prime does look good though; I need to try it. I apply salt and whatever rub I am using then wrap it in foil and let it sit in the refrigerator 1-2 nights. Then cook it indirect with a little smoke. It is sort of in between cooking it over the coals and a slow cook. They always comes out awesome. Cut them super thin on a meat slicer too; takes it to another level.

That really looks good! Makes my mouth water! 😊

A big hello from southern Califas!! I love your style with the grill an Mexican recepies.. today I'm doing a tri tip on my treager

That looks great Arnie!! Will be smoking one of these real soon! Thanks for the video!!

What a great looking tri tip. Cheers, Arnie! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

Well thank you very much, I just drooled all over my computer desk. Another awesome video Arnie...!

You're a professional speaker and food looks amazing. God Bless!

I’m about to do my second one of these. First one was excellent. I am using better than bouillon straight out the jar as a binder. Then some hickory smoked salt and black pepper..

OMG! That looks soooooo good!

I cooked one yesterday on a Weber Smokey Mountain with coals and wood at the bottom and no water pan at about 300 degrees for two hours of smoke. I then pulled the center section off and placed the grate above the coals for a sear. It turned out perfect with my homemade chimichurri sauce.

Great video Arnie!

Seems like you had more than one piece before bedtime 😊looks good! Can’t wait to try this method

I love bbq!! Looks great.

Great video Arnie!!!!!!

If you wrap it at 3 hrs…its usually a 4 to 4 1/2 hr cook. And you can do 2 or even three and it won’t change cook time.

Typically, I smoke mine at 200 degrees until it reaches 120 degrees. From there I let it rest until the temp is back under 100 degrees. Then, I turn my Yoder Smoker up to 600 degrees and finish it off back up to 125 and pull it. Heaven!

Nice Work AT looks like you Nailed It! I like Smoke’n Triskets on my Green Mountain with a Fire Box in the Corner Burning Wood Chunks Just for a little more Real Wood Flavor, They’re Hard to Beat🔥🔥🍺

Subscribed !! Awesome videos.

My wife and I love cooking TRI tip like a brisket 🤤

Certified Gold!!!!!

I love Arnie

Damn looks delicious. Great job

Im taking notes

I make mine like a brisket and it’s way better that way. I do mine on a Weber offset and it’s amazing. I have old school smoker’s but it’s cheaper on the Weber

I do tri-tip on my offset all the time now it is the only to cook it, better than santa maria style.

Perfect example that one method is not the only method. I'm still looking for ways to improve my grilled or smoked fish, especially smaller bass and larger blue gill, crappie too. Suggestions?

Nice video, Arnie! I have not had good luck with Tri tip……..but I recently started smoking it for 2 hours, then braising it in beef broth in an aluminum pan (sealed with Saran Wrap & foil) in the oven for 2 hours.

Love that this guy sounds like a Tio!!

At what temperature did you wrap it? Thanks

That mustache is epic brah!!!!!!

Nom nom nom nom nom nom

When did you warp it?

My buddy from California preaches tri-tip on the grill so now I’m going to have to put one on the smoker. How much time per pound at 250?

Sitting by my Kettle and she’s 138 degrees 2hrs in. Wrapping at 160. Anyone use butcher to wrap? Great vid and I do the same on the timing thing 😂

I usually smoke my tri tips, taking it to medium rare. I just can't bring myself to take it to 200+ like a brisket.

Hey Arnie. so long was this cook after all? Thx

I do it exactly like a brisket and it takes just like a brisket

Where did you buy the Tritip

Arnie, that's a great looking tri tip, I'm going to pick one up and try it. Would you suggest wrapping it in paper?

So people out here really thinking you eat a whole buffet of grilled beef you cooked or something? lol

What is the meat probe you are using?

Where can I get some of your recipes

Love Tri-Tip but cant grill at my apts.😒 Do you have a recipe for cooking one in the oven.😊❤

I wish when the video say, “how to smoke a tri-tip, the video actually showed step by step how this meat was cooked. It didn’t show anything other than trimming and then put in the smoker and then taken out.

Ese tri tip es de HEB!😊😊

I like a horseradish mustard for mine,a little flavor. Now I live by myself, too much for later . Damn

You are welcome, and now you know.

Where did you purchase that carving knife?

Sorry Arnie, it's just not my favorite cut. I'd rather do the brisket or if budgeting, a coulotte roast (picanha). But I'd definitely give this method a go with those cuts.

Do you sell your rubs to the United Kingdom UK?????

Nope hot grilled and rare for me. But to each their own.

No this is blasphemy. Tri tip is meant to be cooked medium rare. Cooking it like a brisket dries it out because it doesn’t have the connective tissue and fat content to break down like a brisket. Smdh. This is sad 😢
