TRI TIP QUESTION

I have only cooked 2 and I enjoyed both but found that they had too heavy of a smoke on them. I like smoked foods, but just felt like they absorbed too much. I was using a couple of oak chunks. What do you guys use, and how much? Advice is always appreciated. 
Thank you

    I cook mine just like a thick steak. Med rare. I don't use wood but if you want extra smoke cut back on the amount you are using to maybe one small chunk.

    I don't use wood chunks. Reverse sear to 110 than sear flipping every minute or so until IT of 130.

    You will get plenty of smoke from the lump charcoal. No need to add chips IMHO.
