FYI - East coast Tri-Tips!

Glad you can get them. They're a favorite with my family. I buy them at Costco in 2 per pack, though they cost around $5 per pound. I've seen the large cryovacs--never bought one, though I probably should.

I saw your PM, figured I'd respond here. I like to start them out in my Smokette. I've grilled them on my kettle (with smoke) and I like them better started in the Cookshack. I keep the heat pretty low (I80 or so to start, which I may turn down as they approach the target temp) so they cook throughout (no thick crust of well-done) without going over 110 to 120 internal. Then I finish on a hot hot grill and rest.

Slice thin across the grain and pile on a garlic butter-toasted bun. Wow, it's so good.

Sounds good Dennis, whats a ballpark cook time for your method?

Maybe an hour, hour and a half (depending on your hot you set the smoker). About 10 minutes on the grill. About 10 minutes to rest. About 5 to slice thin (as thin as you can get it. About 60 seconds to eat.

There's a great rub recipe on www.virtualweberbullet.com. Let me know how it turns out.
