Favorite things on the smoker

[HuntHarder]

Over the last year or 2, I have pretty much stopped buying ribeyes and now only buy Tri-tips. Usually cook them around 250-275 for an hour and then a quick sear to finish them off. I shoot for 130 internal at the thickest part. This gives me my preferred cook and also gives the kids and wife some meat cooked to 140ish. Sliced thin, it can't be beat.

Love tri tips. I’ll have to try your smoker/sear method this weekend.

Are you just shooting for the heat? Or do you put any seasoning in them while smoking?

My favorite seasonings right now are chupacabra. I put a pretty good coating on it all the way around. I use this one for steaks and also have all their other ones as well. They are all good.

Oh man, I can remember back when we could only get that stuff at the feed store in south Texas 15 years ago.

Steaks over mesquite with it almost made cutting the mesquite worth it lol.

Yeah, I heard they started in southern Az as a real small ma and pop. Now they have exploded and are in major grocery stores and Amazon.

We're now making our own steak seasoning and it is great. Put it on burgers and any beef that goes on the grill or the smoker.
