Bob's Beef-O-Rama re-do 7/15/17 (Added Extras!!!)

1buckie, your photos and experience are the very reason I just signed up for WKC.  Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go change my pants and wash my hands.  I can't handle too much kettle porn in one sitting.

.....just lite a Kettle, set something on & close the lid......let the machine do what it knows exactly how to do......

I've seen people show up here with a brand new Kettle & hit it outta the park on the very 1st cook....it's a Weber!!!!

Guess what I'm trying to say is your (& each person's) experience is just as valid as mine or anyone else's.....

Great stuff here!  Tri tip is not common in my area. I've only done one so far but really liked it.

@1buckie,

Like you I've cooked many tri tips in my lifetime. I usually cook them like you (quick sear, then indirect low to about medium/rare or medium ). A few times recently I have also tried reverse searing them with great results. I have to say though...I have never smoked or wok-fried one. Thanks for the inspiration. I also need to try beans down by the coals.

Might just be the most versatile piece on the entire cow, eh what?

[1buckie]

....ok, lesse......maybe something will post up here.................

Here's where we left off....


Charcoal setup.........
Otta call these things 'Smoke Rings", but I think that name's already been co-opted !! 









Lump chips for "burn insurance"............





Startup......


Aways in, things weren't moving quite smoothly & all clean-burn-like, so I forwarded some coals to get things moving along....





Bean pan in @ 2-1/2 hours.....


Here's what the burn looked like about 1/2way around....


Beans in jail......


Thinking the brisket would come around to done maybe somewhere near the tip,


I separated the coal line at the end......Silly me....brisket takes longer, even if it's smaller, I guess
I've always wanted to do these side-by-side, so this is it......

Oak & Apple make  for a nice color...








Fired up Lulu for some taters.....


Tip was well done way ahead of point.....




Pull apart.....


Tri tip....just like brisket is supposed to do...........

Please note: There is no knife in this photo, it's not needed...


After a short nap, the brisket is done......






I like the point....it's yummy !!!

for what it takes to get where I need to go, the tri=tip is an easier cook, though....

Thanks fer Lookin' !!!

Oh, and the beans did get out of jail.....

[1buckie]

P.S.:

Clockwise burn for beef..........

[mhiszem]

That looks delicious! I need to try those beans.

Ok........here's the "rest of the story" ~~~>


Did some burnt ends with the  brisket & tri-tip also, leftover from Bob's cookup the other day.....






Fired up his second cousin, Mae Belle for the job...
( sportin' a borrowed red hat for the occasion)



Cleared a little rust the cast iron picked up when the carport leaked this winter, re-seasoned &
dumped the chunks.....





Hour @ 325 ~~~>










Sauce ~~>


Cooked down ~~>


& Dinner ~~>

The wife forgot all about:
"I'm not all that big on this smoked stuff...." when she got ahold of these ...........

Thank you again 1buckie.😋 amazing looking cook as always.

[Jon]

I really like the cooks, as usual. But is the table saw part of the cooking process?

@Jon

Guess you could say yes.....cutting wood chunks....two pecan trees in the yard & numerous friends w/ oak, apple, etc.
There's always wood needs cuttin'.............
