Do people here prefer baby back or spare? I'm not sure and wondered what the consensus is?

I’m team spare.

 

[VolInNorthCack]

I love both spare and baby back

 

[Boca Vol]

Breaking the rules since I make this on the skillet, but it's just polish sausage and you candy it with coke and brown sugar and it's the best/easiest appetizer

I make "poor man's burnt ends" that are similar to this.

I'm probably 65/35 baby backs over spares.

Any advice on tri tip? Thinking an ancho chili style rub, maybe mesquite smoke. Not sure about temp, time, etc. Open to suggestions.

This Pit Boss seems to be a Walmart exclusive. I just saw for the first time in the store, even though it's on Pit Boss website. There's a click button to buy at Walmart. $750.

I've done several. Love the tri-tip flavor. I left mine a little pink. I believe I went to about 160. that serves most palates. The skinny end a little more done, and the thick end a little pinker. I've not done much to a tri-tip. Some salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder. And some smoke. The cut speaks for itself anyways. I knew one guy that would marinate them in a red wine marinade. that would basically "cook" the meat, then he'd smoke it out. You won't have to take it up to 205 like a brisket or other heavy beef cuts.

Be careful with mesquite. It's very strong. I tend to use hickory, pecan, or whiskey barrel oak on tri tip. That's not to say you can't use mesquite, but less is more for sure. I generally do a reverse search with the temp lower at the beginning and crank up to sear at the end. I've also done them on the rotisserie. It's a very forgiving cut, so don't be afraid to experiment with it. Here is the first method I tried.

This works great. Simple rub, reverse sear.

I served with homemade chimichuri last time and it was a real hit!

It's hard to make a tri tip that isn't great honestly. It's probably my favorite cut of beef.

This. 125ish in the thick part then give it a nice sear! Slice thin against the grain. Chimichuri is a great sauce for tri-tip.

I've always used St. Louis cut ribs when I can find them. Don't know that they're any better or worse, but they've always worked well for me.

Look at the reviews…

My son picked this Armor top on closeout at his work. I wasn't going to pay $180 for one, but $38 with his discount was a no-brainer.

I did wings tonight, and they were the best I've ever cooked. Got busy watching football and cracking into a beer and forgot to take a pic. Dried, dusted with arrowroot, and seasoned with s+p, BKW fire.

Just kidding. I would pay full price for this!

That first picture looks like an extreme zoomed in version of a strange insect. The second looks amazingly delicious.

I have been so close to pulling the trigger on a pellet grill here recently I'm surprised I haven't bought one yet. What pellet grills does everyone in here have?

Teaeger ironwood 885. Its the only pellet smoker I've used so I can't compare to others, but it's really simple.
