Tri-tip is a quick and easy cook on a kamado grill any time of the year. I wanted to find out all there is to know about this unique barbecue meat, so I asked the pitmasters how they smoke tri-tip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the best results, I highly recommend using the reverse-sear method when cooking tri-tip. Set the temperature of your Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe to 225\u00b0 F. Use the deflector plate, and cook the tri-tip with indirect heat for around about 1.5 hours, or until the internal meat temperature reaches 115\u00b0 F. Remove the deflector plate, and sear the tri-tip over the flame for about 1-2 minutes each side<\/strong>, or until the internal meat temperature reaches anywhere between 130\u00b0 F and 140\u00b0 F. Use hickory, oak, or mesquite as a smoking wood, and applied a decent amount of rub on the tri-tip prior to smoking. It should only take around about 2 hours total cook time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: The Low-and-Slow method involves searing the tri-tip after it has been cooked at 225\u00b0F for 1.5 hours, so the total cook time will be around 2 hours. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the tri-tip is cooked to your desired level of doneness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
