\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What better way of starting the New Year, 2013, than Hickory<\/a> Smoking a couple of Tri-Tip Roasts on my MAK 2 Star<\/a> Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker-Grill!?\u00a0 Like everything else these days the price of Tri-Tip roasts remain high.\u00a0 Stores like Costco, Sam’s Club, and Cash & Carry still have reasonably priced meat, poultry, and seafood.\u00a0 Started with Costco U.S.D.A. Choice Beef Loin Tri-Tip Roasts.\u00a0 Each Tri-Tip Roast weighed in around 2\u00bd lbs and at $5.99\/lb they cost $16 each!\u00a0 But smoked\/cooked properly they’re worth every penny … <\/p>\n

The U.S.D.A. Choice Tri-Tip Roasts were rubbed with Annie’s Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/a> and my special blend of spices which for now will remain a secret.\u00a0 If you click on the image you’ll note the wonderful marbling present in these Choice roasts.\u00a0 Wrapped the seasoned Tri-Tip roasts in plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight to allow those seasonings to work their magic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Preheated the MAK 2 Star<\/a> Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker-Grill to 225\u00baF using Pacific Pellet Hickory<\/a> BBQ Pellets.\u00a0 Smoked the Tri-Tip at 225\u00baF for an hour before increasing the temperature of the MAK 2 Star<\/a> pit to 280\u00baF until the internal temperature<\/a> of the roasts reached 145\u00baF.<\/p>\n

Many people recommend cooking the Tri-Tip to an internal temperature<\/a> of 125-135\u00ba and will use a reverse sear at high temps to finish their cook.\u00a0 Took a total time of about 3\u00bd hours from start to finish.\u00a0 \u00bd hour to preheat the MAK 2 Star<\/a>, 2\u00bd on the pellet grill, and 20 minutes under a foil tent.\u00a0 You should always rely on the meat internal temperature<\/a> versus time.\u00a0 The meat will be done when it’s done …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rested the Hickory<\/a> Smoked Tri-Tip roasts under a foil tent for 20 minutes before serving.\u00a0 A Tri-Tip roast has grains that run a couple of different directions and can be tricky to carve.\u00a0 Always carve a Tri-Tip across the grain.\u00a0 In the photo below, I carved half the Tri-Tip across the grain and the portion not sliced yet clearly shows the grain of the meat going from right to left and therefore I sliced across it.\u00a0 When carving, you should also hold the knife at a slight angle which enhances the tenderness and flavor.\u00a0 Cutting at an angle is called cutting on the bias.<\/p>\n
