MMmmm Tri-tip!

[MossyMO]

Cold smoked a tri-tip with oak that was seasoned with Tatonka Dust for an hour and a half.


-----

Then cooking indirect smoked the tri-tip and twice baked potato's with a chunk of hickory over the Vortex. (Our Golden Retriever Grissom likes hanging around the grill!)


-----

When the internal temp of the tri-tip reached 100º placed it over the Vortex for a quick sear bringing its temp up to 125º and then let it rest...


-----

The Vortex is a searing machine!


-----
Twice baked potatoes just don't get much better than this!


-----

What an excellent meal of fine dining!



Thanks for looking!

Holy cow! @MossyMO Can you provide a link for that cold smoking device? That looks like an amazing meal.

Also is that the small vortex on an 18"? My medium is perfect for the 22"

I think I'll modify (Half it, top & tail) my next coffee can to make an experimental Vortex, that plate looks incredible!

Here is where you can get a tube smoker - www.owensbbq.com/smokers-and-pellets.html
That is a small Vortex in a 22.5" kettle.

Both the Small and the Medium Vortex will work great in the 22.5" Weber kettl....that is the one kettle size that both units are really great in.  Really it depends on what cooking style/s you are wanting to use the most. 
Indirect/Direct cooking – for instance like chicken wings for example the Small Vortex would give you more grill space and you can fit more food.
Low & Slow – for instance cooking a pork butt a Medium Vortex would give you a larger indirect space for bigger butts. And the Small Vortex would get you longer time because you have more room for charcoal.   
Direct High Heat – for searing steaks the Medium Vortex will give you more searing room.
Infrared Heat – for cooking a beer can chicken the Medium Vortex will give you room for a larger bird, even a small turkey (I put a 8lb turkey in the Medium). 
I hope that helps a little....
