In California, home of the medium rare tri tip, 135 degrees is the magic number. Roughly 25 minutes over a medium fire.....BUT, in BBQ competitions in CA and especially other parts of the country, medium rare is frowned on.  Tri tip is expected to be cooked like brisket, slow smoked at ~225, indirect heat, cooked full-through.

I did two tri tips with this method.

One I took out at 135*

One I took out at 170*

Let them both rest for 15 mins.

Sliced them both and shared the meat with 10 friends.

8 out of 10 liked the 170* meat more. They said it was waaaay more tender.

I was super sceptical at first, but from now on ill smoke my tritip for 5-6 hours @ 200* until it reaches 170*

Thanks for sharing.

way over cooked i agree 135-140 . put on a regular weber for an hour indirect check temp . then put on direct to proper temp . only season an hour prior and put a couple pieces of oak or fruit wood for smoke at the start.let sit for 10 min , cut against the grain and your done .what a way to cook a simple piece in front of your friends to show off your expensive tools, and not know what your doing. u can put a smoke ring on any piece of meat if you cook it in a smoker for a few hours , juices?

Dude what temp are you smoking at? Every tri-tip I've smoked is done in and hr and a half. It isn't a brisket you want it 145-150 degrees. That is said it is only my opinion.
