Cooked my first tri tip tonight. Wow, so tender and juicy. Thanks to everyone on this forum. The hall of famers like Tom fm cgs, cen tex, stike, Travis, and list goes on. Read Lizzie's post about tri tip and all suggestions from everyone. So I did the indirect at 325 and then did reverse sear. And it came out perfect. I like a medium or medium well so I did cook my longer than most. Also, tired corn in then husk for first time. I opened the husk & took out the silk and grilled it while I was doing the sear. The corn was so sweet and prefect. I did put some dizzy dust on one of them and will be doing that again!

Looks nicely done.

Here's a tip for corn in the husk. Slap it on the grill exactly like you got it from the store. Turn it a couple of times if you feel like it, or don't. Take it off when it's done. Now here's the cool part - you don't have to shuck it. All you have to do is cut of the stem end so that you've exposed the full diameter of the ear. Then you just grab the pointy end of the ear and squeeze like you're trying to get a popsicle out. Turn the cut end towards the plate. Once it starts to move you may have to give a couple of light shakes back and forth, but it won't take much. The ear will pop out of there and leave all of the hairs behind. If the corn is cooked well the ear will come out perfectly clean. I'm talking cleaner than you can ever get it shucking by hand.This also works in the microwave. Toss the ears in no more than two at a time and nuke them for 5-7 minutes depending on the power of your microwave, cut off the ends, and squirt the ears out onto the plate. This trick was a real boon for my kids because I grew up in the rural midwest and I've shucked enough corn for a lifetime. I HATE shucking corn. Now we can have corn on the cob all the time and I don't have to mess with shucking it. Win win.XL BGE

Double +1. When I nuke ears of corn (lord forgive me) I do 4 min per ear and just like you said, cut the big end and hold the pointy end and the ear plops out without even a piece of silk. Same goes for grilling. I like to slow roast for about 1hr and let all those starches turn to sugar. Its like nectar from heaven.This also works in the microwave. Toss the ears in no more than two at a time and nuke them for 5-7 minutes depending on the power of your microwave, cut off the ends, and squirt the ears out onto the plate.

Big believer in grilling in the husk. Never tried the cut one end off and squeeze the corn out trick though. Thought about it as I read the post and thought, "why didn't I think of that sooner?" I have been using a couple of pot holders and just undressing the corn from the pointy end while it is hot. Works well, all the silk just peels right off.

That Tri-tip looks great. Nice smoke ring also.

From a guy in the very middle of corn country, that method works extremely well and saves a lot of time. We have done it that way for as long as I remember my Dad cooking corn on the cob on the old flat grill with the half hood and the Lazy Susan turning grid. Didn't work worth a darn when Mom boiled it though.A poor widows son.

nice cook Deacon. Looks awesomeKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Back to Deacon on this one - two things - what rub did you use (looks good, like large chunks?), and second never heard of a reverse sear. I assume this is cook indirect and sear at the finish?ThanksLBGE

@ cen tex thanks @doc I used historic Lynchburg tenn whiskey steak seasoning with some cracked garlic pepper. I used some jack Daniels & cherry wood chips this time. And exactly on the cook, 325 indirect cook then seared both sides.

Thanks for the tip will definitely try that today.

Tri tip is just one of the best cuts for egging, ever. Ever.John in the Willamette Valley of Oregon
