Get your egg to 250-275 then throw on the meat till it's 110-120 max. Open up the vents and let it rip and monitor your temp on how you like it as you get a sear on it. You need a good thermometer, hopefully a Thermopen. As for seasoning, that's personal, what do you like on a steak? I like it simple salt, garlic and pepper. Sides, taters and some grilled asparagus.
I'm sure others will pipe in, there's a whole lot of better eggers here than me.

Hey @newegger169 What part of the reverse searing were you asking about? @logchief gave solid advice above. As far as the searing, lots of options depending on your equipment. Short answer is HOT. Below is a youtube clip that I thought was quite good.

No rules on the sides. TT is one of my favs, and imo anything goes with it.

Here’s a post I made a few years ago that may help: https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1143349/tri-tip-tutorial#latest
Much of it was covered by the earlier posts. I didn’t get into seasoning but basically your normal spices/rubs for beef work well. The rub recipe in this post has been pretty popular on the forum and past Eggfests out here: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/santa-maria-style-bbq-oakwood-grilled-tri-tip-recipe-2011769
Pinquito beans as a side are traditional in the Santa Maria area but they’re kind of hard to find outside of that area. Garlic bread is great for dipping into the beef juices.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, M&M BBQ Texas Smoke King, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal

Sounds great! A few chunks of pecan wood?

I go with a red oak but wouldn’t hesitate to use pecan if I didn’t have oak. 1-2 chunks should be enough.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, M&M BBQ Texas Smoke King, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal

Red oak and holy cow are my go to's. Also, take 3 stems of asparagus, roll in one strip of bacon then cook.
Delicious. -

Holy cow it is!!! Looks like enough?!

Looks like good coverage. Just make sure you slice against the grain (all three directions) and you're in for a treat!!!

Seem to be having thermometer issues. About how long should it take to get to 110?

I wish I could give you a good answer, hopefully some body else will chime in if there not all screwed up with Friday Night. Bottom line get a Thermopen.LBGE - I like the hot stuff. The big dry San Joaquin Valley, Clovis, CA

I would cook on the top rack (of adjustable rig) direct heat at 400 degrees. And use this marinade.
