    I love reverse-seared tri-tip on the BGE. This nailed it perfectly!

    That's some strong work there Dennis !

    Somethings are definitely worth resurrecting and this is definitely one of them 👍

    I think it’s around 300 Until 125 for the reverse and 500 for the sear.

    I wound up with a weird but good cook yesterday on my tri tip. I setup for an indirect fire and was going for 375. I put some Albukurky Red and salt on the tri tip and let it hang out in the fridge. Added some post oak and put the tip on at around 350. I went inside and hung out for a while. When I came back, the Egg was already at almost 500 and the meat was done. This was a small 2 pound tri tip and about 45 minutes. I usually don't get a fire that hot when an indirect setup.

    I took out the CGS spider and small stone and it burned through my glove just a bit. I flipped the tri tip over and got some color on the other side.

    The meat was definitely on the well done side. Probably 170. It was really juicy and delicious.

    Hot and fast and indirect. That's a weird combo.
