Tri-tips belong lightly seasoned, on a grill, with a good sear and rare to med-rare inside- yum! That having been said, one of the local bbq chains makes a great smoked tri-tip- I presume they do some smoke and finish on the grill. With a CS, I'd use 2-3 ozs. of hickory, smoke at 250* until you reach 100* or so (just to leave wiggle room on the grill), then throw it on the grill for some sear and appearance, taking it to your desired finish. Some say sear first to "seal", but it appears that may not be as effective as thought. Even so, sear first smoke second would probably work just as well. Good luck!
Hey Flame - Welcome to the forum!

Might be a good idea to learn to use the "Search Function" of the forum. Just above your first post you will see the "Find' link. Click on it and enter tri-tip or tri tip (no hyphen). You will find quite a few more links to tri-tip. Might also want to look in the "Recipe" section on the maiin page of the Forum.
What kind of smoker are you using?
Have fun and good luck!
