Smoked another Tri tip last night. These have become easily my favorite thing to smoke.

Hmm, interesting! I will have to try that sometime. It looks incredibly tasty.
Here is yesterday's project. I had to cut the brisket in half for it to fit on the smoker. This is the larger piece as it comes off.

Rev,it’s basically like reverse searing a giant steak. But tritip has this insane beefy flavor that I can’t get enough of and it’s a fairly cheap cut of meat.

Got some baby backs on the smoker for today. Going to have 'em with some "loaded baked potato" smashed potatoes and corn on the cob. Also have some thighs on there for some pulled BBQ chicken tomorrow, rubbed with SPGP, smoked paprika, cayenne, and brown sugar.

Anyone else got their smoker going this holiday weekend?

I'm cooking the largest brisket that I have ever cooked for tonight when we are having about 16 people over for dinner. When my wife bought it at Costco, it weighed almost 21 pounds. I put it on the Traeger last night at 10:00 and I just checked its temperature which is at 165 degrees.

Recently did this little mish-mash of Chicken Cordon Bleu and Malibu Chicken.

Both of those are typically breaded, but I went without the breading so that I could grill them. Grill the breasts top side down until a little less than halfway cooked. Remove them from the grill and then add the squash to get good grill marks on both sides. Slice nice pocket in each breast and stuff with a half slice each of Swiss Cheese and Black Forest Ham. That's the Cordon Bleu part.

Put the chicken back on the grill this time bottom side down. When the chicken reaches about 150º IT cover them with another slice of Swiss & Black Forest. That's the Malibu part.

Finally, flip one last time to get some grill marks on the ham.

Looks good to me BigDawg.

I see some sections of GrillGrates in there. How do you like them? Work as advertised?

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I have a friend that swears by the grill grates.

BBQ's two racks of baby back ribs for Fathers Day. My first time doing ribs on the Traeger and they came out perfect.

I won't even say "beginner's luck", Matt. ;) :D

I also swear by them I seldom use the flat side. Everyone in my family really likes having grill marks on their food. The best part about them is how, even on the fatties burgers or most deliciously marbled ribeyes, they prevent flare up from burning your dinner.
