Re: What's in your smoker?
I have a coleman round charcoal smoker. The cheap one that is about $100 for now. Hoping to build one this summer and brick it into the pattio.

Re: What's in your smoker?
Next door neighbors invited us over to a gathering this evening. A pot luck thing. Decided to do a couple of Tri-Tips this evening for the pot luck:
I think I recalled there were 4 pieces left swimming in some juice before we left to walk back home this evening. Love Tri-Tip...

Re: What's in your smoker?
I was thinking if you have a good butcher shop in your area, you may want to get to know that person and see if he/she could wacked off a Tri-Tip for you. They may have a different name for this cut of meat in your area. Just a thought!

The problem is, as the butcher explained to me, they no longer get sides of beef. Everything they get is already processed and cryovac'd. By the time the beef gets to him, the tri-tip is already removed, and he said, most likely used in chop meat. Tis such a shame. I hope you can find it, Bob

Is the problem actually getting it, or just that the name "tri-tip" is not known to the employees at your meat counter? If it's the latter, sometimes it masquerades under other names, I've known people who have found tri-tip by asking for "bottom round, tip cut" or "triangle sirloin" and there's one more I forget offhand. You could also try by IMPS/NAMP #, it's cut #185C according to the chart I have. The texture and flavor is similar to flank, TT is not quite as intense, but thicker and harder to screw up when cooking. Maybe search around for a meat locker in your area. |

Re: What's in your smoker?
... Great idea Adam. I remember when visiting my grandparents back in Cole City, IL, they had a meat locker they rented from the local butcher. The lockers were attached to the butcher shop. In fact, it was pretty much a large freezer in its self. Its summer outside and winter conditions inside. You'd have to put on heavy coats before you walked inside to your rented locker to pick out your cuts of beef. Being a kid, it was alot of fun going to the meat locker with grandma while trying to scape up enough frost to make a snowball

Re: What's in your smoker?
Thanks for the info guys. There's a few butchers in the area I'm going to check with.

Re: What's in your smoker?
A friend sent me this today and I thought it appropriate:
Grilling is a transatlantic flight on the Concorde. Barbecuing is a cruise on the QE2. Grilling is a quickie on the kitchen table. Barbeque is tantric. --- David Plitz, slate.com

Traditionally, it's grilled over red oak - it's not a quick grill though because of it's weight and thickness, it takes some time. Look up "Santa Maria Tri-Tip", which is where it originated. Although there are some weirdos who have huffed too much LoCal smog and they like to smoke it. Last edited by T.G; 01-07-2013 at 09:33 AM. |
