Tri-tip is a popular barbecue meat that has gained popularity in recent years. To smoke tri-tip in an electric smoker, set the temperature between 225\u00b0F and 275\u00b0F and fill the woodchip tray with hickory, pecan, cherry, or your preferred smoking wood. Place the tri-tip on the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 115\u00b0F (around 1.5 hours). Remove the tri-tip from the smoker and reverse sear it on a hot pan or grill until the internal temperature reaches 130\u00b0F for rare or 140\u00b0F for medium rare. Tri-tip is best served medium or medium rare and should be sliced against the grain for tenderness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
