Let me know what ya think brother
Preciate it dog1st, whatever they charge to put it together for you, it is worth it. What a PITA! If you have patience and enjoy tiny screws at awkward angles, go for it. I figured it would give me something to do while at home.... LOL!
I got it put together and fired it up. It starts quickly and gets up to temp quickly. I may toss a rack of ribs or some country ribs on it tomorrow to mess around with it and get a feel for temps, etc. It seems very sturdy. For $500, I'm pleasantly surprised.
I cheat on my tri tip from a seasoning perspective bc I buy mine directly from a local butcher who has it pre-marinated in a bag that is so damn good. On the cooking part though I definitely would go with the reverse sear.For anyone that has done a tri tip, I have never done one and could use some tips. I have watched a few videos and most say season like a steak or brisket and reverse sear
There are 2 primary methods. Traditional Santa Maria bbq I grew up with calls for light seasoning (garlic salt & pepper for us) and cooked quickly over an oak fire. That's how I grew up with it and love it, but the last few years I've been doing it as reverse sear and it is amazingly much much better. I'll do the same seasoning sometimes adding some dark & smoky chipotle from flatiron pepper co, and then reverse sear it. I'll do it between 275-300 to an IT of 135° then sear. This comes out to the most amazing tri tip I've ever had.For anyone that has done a tri tip, I have never done one and could use some tips.

I'm gonna have to give that a shot. It looks interesting. I like trying different seasoning mixes, but typically nothing compares to good old GS & P. I'm always in the market to try though.Try this rub, available at me local Ace hardware and online:

Have you tried Porter Road? They are out of Nashville.Check out what arrived on the same UPS truck yesterday from SRF and Simpson's meats. (SRF: 2 slabs of Kurobuta spares, 2 Picanhas, a 3.2lb. rib-cap...Simpson's: 6 Prime NY Strips, 2 containers of 'minner cheese, Chimichurri sauce, and their S&P rub)

County style ribs today.
Here's the final product on the Kurobuta spares. Didn't quite need 6 hours. Probably could've gone 2.5, 2, 30 minutes, but the flavor was incredible. I seasoned with Fox Bros. BBQ rub (out of Atlanta), along with a mild sprinkle of Dizzy Pig's Peruvian-ish and used Fox's sauce for a light glaze.
