Excuse my ignorance, but are those tritips? If so, please share your preparation process. Salt and pepper only? What kind of wood in the smoker? Smoker temperature? Meat internal temperature to shoot for? (The heat of the meat, if you will) Brand of beer during smoke time? Brand of beer consumed with meat? I am asking because I’ve only done brisket, ribs and pork butts, with turkey making an annual appearance. But I did purchase a couple of tritips at the HEB, and I could use some guidance from a pro dad.

Salt is a definite and helps for a crust as the meat cooks. I personally don't add pepper since it can burn

GEEKABALL posted:Excuse my ignorance, but are those tritips? I did a store bought meat rub that was basically salt, epper, and garlic powder I used hickory wood because my drat grocery store only carries pellets now and it was hickory or apple. Usually I do tri tip with mesquite. 225 is what I went for and more or less maintained 135 is what I got the meat too and then I seared it on a cast iron with butter, oil, rosemary, thyme, and garlic I consumed Bulleit Bourbon with this Tritip is great because in generally it only takes 45 mins to an hour to hit 135 internally, so its a pretty legit quick smoke but I'd also say toss in some salmon or other quick smoking things so you dont waste valuable charcoal.

Tri-tip is steak and so that's how I cook it. I'm from California and the best preparation from here is Santa Maria style over native Red Oak. Any oak should do, though! For seasoning I do approximately equal parts fresh ground black pep (I like to say "pep!" hah), kosher salt and garlic powder. Add some brown sugar, paprika and red chili flakes if you're feeling sexy. Ancho chili powder is a good choice, too. Rub 'em up, wrap 'em up and let 'em sit a couple hours in the fridge. Once done, bring them out and allow to come to room temp. Start your smoker and get it as hot as possible (usually 400-500F) and place your rubbed tri-tips in there. Flip 'em every 15-20 minutes until they read an internal temperature that you like for steak. 130-135F is usually a good temp to pull them at. Let rest for 10 minutes. Enjoy.

Hey guys, long time lurker here, first time dad. My kid is only about 4 weeks old. Time has lost all meaning and I have never been more exhausted. Anyway, the weather here is finally warm enough to fire up the grill, and my ancient piece of poo poo grill decided to poo poo the bed. My question to all you other rad dads is this: what's a good grill to get considering that I am on a pretty severely restricted budget? I'm really hoping to find a good middle ground between this ) and this  I really want a decent propane grill with some real surface area. But a lot of the midsize ones I'm pricing out seem like they're either wildly over priced or extremely poorly reviewed. What's your experience?

Char-Broil grills are Just Fine. Nothing flashy, but solid enough to work well for quite a few years, they’re widely available so replacement parts are too, if necessary, and they’re generally low priced. Also Lowe’s is currently having a grill sale.

Old Smokey grills look pretty well reviewed and moderately priced, never used one though.

Old smokey is usually acquired for free as a promotional gift from a golf tournament or a smallish Uline order. It is barely acceptable to keep on a fire escape, but almost always ends up being used as a giant ash tray.

Listen, ah, wife's going out tonight, I'm gonna have the guys over, we're gonna watch the Fish on the big screen, I'm gonna grill up some brats, I got a microbrew chilling in my wet bar, and, uh, I was gonna warm up some ziti. Why don't you come by if you got some triple-fried pizza dough, or some kind of frozen meatballs or whatever it is, you can warm it up in my microwave or you can warm it up back at home, bring it over pipin' hot, but if you wanna bring over a vegetable medley, a crudité, figure out how much lunch meat you can spare, maybe bring over a pound and a half, two pounds of Black Forest ham, maybe a dijon mustard spread?

I had a midsize 4-burner Char-Broil that was fine. It even had a little separate mini-burner on the side like for a side dish or to heat up a pot of water. I got it as a gift but I know it wasn’t more than $200. You can get something simpler for less.

Also I’m thinking about using my off-set smoker tomorrow to smoke some chicken drumsticks. Sure I can google it but I thought I’d ask the pro-dads here for some tips & tricks.

Gettin' tired of messing with this weenie battery operated fishing line trimmer. Think it’s time to get an Echo. I’m thinking maybe the PAS-2620 with the Pro edger attachment.
