All wood cook tritip

[Nate]

Broke out the 18" WSM, that I haven't used in a couple years, to cook up a tritip with wood only. Started with the grate low then moved to the top to finish off. Sliced and plated up with roasted Brussels sprouts and toast from the bread I made last weekend.

Sweet, you nailed it...

NATE! What's up, dude?! Glad to see you posting; hope all is well!

That tri-tip looks excellent. Remind's me of the ones I used to do catering on a large SM rig with almond wood many years ago.

I saw BBM do them this way a while back. I've been meaning to try it out.

Man that's awesome! How hot was your pit getting using only wood?

Excellent!  Did you use the lid at all?

@Mike in Roseville Thanks. Life is what's up...very busy. I saw this too from BBM and figured I'd try it this way since we were cooking up a tritip for dinner.

Glad to see you posting lately Nate, your cooks are always off the chain, love it.

Did you let the wood burn down a bit to a coal bed? Wondering if this method would impart any bad smoke or flavor profile.

@jp217p Thanks. With the lid on it was around 400+*F, maybe hotter. I was burning hickory and oak. This was during preheat. Burned the hair off my arm when cooking on the lower position of the grate  . During this cook I was trying to contain/maintain my fire so I wouldn't burn down the forest around me.

@HoosierKettle @SMOKE FREAK
I used the lid for maybe 3mins total just to keep my fire under control

@kettlebb Thanks. There was a little coal bed, probably could have let it burn down a bit more but needed to get dinner going. Flavor was great. Much different than just cooking over lump or briquetts. I was just trying to replicate a Santa Maria style cook using what I had.

Nice work!

Baby Back Maniac has a good video on this topic on his YouTube channel. 

The WSM is a lot more versatile than it appears.  I've been doing more cooks with no water pan.  This might be the next experiment for me.
