New Years Day Tri-Tip

[Bob BQ]

Happy New Years, everyone! Here was the first dinner of 2014!

The 1989 'L' 18.5" redhead, ready to begin. 1st time I've used the sidekick table (acquired from ramsfan/Bob):


Pecan smoke!


Tri-tip on!


Resting:


Sliced:


Sharing a plate with some taters & arugula. The tri-tip was medium/medium-well. Definitely over-shot the mark there, but it was still tender, and damn tasty! Wound up with just enough left over for a lunch sammie tomorrow!


Here's to more great cooks and kettles in 2014!

Nice setup! I particularly like the red fade 18. It would match my red fade MT.  I like the way you've set it up with the table, slide away and ash bucket. (Need a drool emoticon.)

That tri-tip looks pretty good too! (Really need a drool icon!)

Nice grill and a terrific looking cook!

Nice tip & even nicer kettle, man........

Tips will still be OK at well done if they don't cook too, too fast getting there....looks great !!!!
