Picked up a prime tri tip to smoke like a brisket. Never done a tri tip but I will definitely be doing more in the future. Rub is 50/50 salt and pepper and then dusted with Fiesta season it all. Put on the pellet grill at 225 till it hit 170 internal. Then wrapped in foil with Bacon Up and put back on the pellet grill at 275 til it was prob tender. Let rest on the counter til the internal was 150 or so degrees, let me know what you think.
I didn’t get many photos sorry…

Most recipes I see for pellet grill Tri tip cook it more like a reverse sear on a steak to medium rare-medium. Was it dry?
Well done is not for me, my wife would devour it 🤷♂️. You do you and enjoy!
Try one at 140 with a sear. Also if you can find one with the fat cap intact that ads a lot of flavor. Only 1/4” of cap, unless you are doing it open flame then as much as it has.
That looks good. Most people tend to cook them like a steak but that one looks plenty marbled for a proper smoking like you did.
Looks good. I did one tonight myself.

You had one job
This ain’t trying to be a reverse sear style.
Look up Meat Church tri-tip like a brisket.
This is a delicious way to get 85% of brisket deliciousness in 5-6 hrs.
Looks good OP. My fam loves them this way, as they all tend to prefer brisket flat anyways.
Wow. Holy over cook.
Try reverse sear. The results will be amazing
Did one today myself. Turned out great, yours looks tasty too
A tri tip roast is also referred to as a santa monica roast. Huge in California done as a roast not as steaks but I do sell the steaks and they move. Over done for me but to each their own. I would try though.
