TRI-TIP Last Night

Jackbythesea

Just wanted to let everyone know I did a 2LB. Tri-tip (my first) on the EGG last night.
Rubbed down with olive oil and then a liberal amount of "John Henry's" Sugar Maple Rub. 1 hour @ 275 dome and then 3 minutes a side at 700 to finish. It was GREAAAT!
May have been the tastiest piece of meat I've done so far in my year of cooking with the "BGE"

Jackbythesea, I am glad the tri tip worked out but I have one question. With the sugar maple rub at 700 degrees, did the sugars in the rub not burn....T

Sandbagger,
No just nice and crisp!

Jackbythesea,
You are encouraging me to try this! I have a tri tip in the ice box now, maybe I should thaw it out and give it a whirl. I do like that John Henry Maple rub - it is pretty darn good!

Jackbythesea,
I did a tri-tip last night. I grilled it at 500 dome to an internal temp of 130. I let it rest for a full 15 minutes under foil. It was as moist and tender as I ever done. I seasoned simply with salt, pepper and garlic salt. Happy tri-tipping. LOL, Tom
