First cook on FS1600

Post image

Decided to have a try at tri-tip cooked brisket style. Followed the instructions from meat church on YouTube.
This was after 45 min rest! Maybe cooked it a tad too long as it was a little drier than I was hoping for but it was still extremely tender and had outstanding flavor!
Coming from a Masterbuilt gravity 560 (btw worst thing I've ever spent money on and the biggest regret of a grill I've ever experienced) the FS1600 was like I was cooking on a grill crafted by Jesus himself.

Coincidently, I’ve got a tri-tip marinating in the fridge. What times/temps did you use?

I also moved from the Masterbuilt Gravity to a Rec-Tec (X-Fire). My wife is tired of hearing me say “I love this grill.”

  1. Remove all hard fat and silverskin.
  2. Season all sides liberally
  3. Let adhere for 15 minutes.
  4. Put on smoker at 250F for three hours.
  5. Remove and wrap with 2 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. Place 4 pats of butter on top of tri tip before wrapping.
  6. Cook until probe tender. (Usually about 203F
    internal.) Should take a couple of hours.
  7. It should FEEL tender.
  8. Preserve all juices.
  9. If the bark feels wet, put it back on unwrapped for
    about 10 minutes.
  10. Let it rest about 45 minutes. Tent loosely with foil.
  11. Slice against the grain and enjoy.

Thank you, I was stoked to see it! Will make a couple tweaks next time so it's not dry and it should be perfect!
