Reverse Sear Tri-Tip with New Flame Boss 200 and Grill Grates

Krughzn

Well, my wife washed the receiver of my Maverick 733 last week. Dried it out for several days in a bag of rice. It still works but the grate temp doesn't show on the receiver. She felt really bad and let me buy the FB 200. I found a place locally that gave me a great price. Since I was there, I got the grill grates and some rubs as well. Perfect time to cook the tri-tip. Going with a salt, pepper, garlic rub to about 115-118, then reverse sear with the grill grates.

Looks like a solid cook plan.

Rub is on. I'll put them on the egg in about 30-40 mins.

Flame Boss worked ok for such a short cook. The grill grates are pretty amazing. Gets hot quick and does a nice HOT sear. It was a little more rare than I like. I should give it another 3-5 degrees before I pull to sear next time.

@Krughzn: Where did you go to do your shopping in San Diego?

You did a beautiful job of slicing up that roast. Tri-tip is a real challenge.

Thanks Judy. Hot Sauces and More in Chula Vista. Went there for some rubs and ended up with the other stuff.

SD Grill Pros in San Marcos also have great prices but they are currently out of the FB 200.
