A light water spritz to help the Holy Cow rub by Meat Church adhere. Cooked it at 225°F on my Austin XL until the internal temperature reached 202°F, then rested it for 45 minutes in a cooler. It bent, pulled, and tasted like lean brisket. Next up, I’ll be attempting my first brisket!

    My favorite way to cook the Tri. Good luck on the brisket

    I have never cooked one this way as I always just cook like a steak or roast as it is so very tasty. But it does look lice with a good smoke ring.

    I’d be afraid it would be dry as a bone. Tri-tip has very little fat compared to Brisket.

    They always turn out good, but I’d rather just smoke a brisket

  5. Personally I like to pull it instead of slice it – one of the cool things about tri-tip is the long muscle fibers

    Tri-tip is a steak. I don’t understand why cooking a steak to 202 internal is a good idea? I’ll be that guy, this looks like shit.

    Brisket needs the low and slow to tenderize, tri tip does not.

    I get it people like well done steak, I’m not one of them. Well done steak is 160 ish internal. I’m guessing you found “trisket” online somewhere. Go try a tri tip and cook to 130-140 internal it will be 10x better. You cooked a red meat steak for so long it turned white lol.
