Grilled with an adobe fireplace with fresh local timber. Nothing beats wood flavor so far for me. ??
 
Costco choice fillet (this is half of it!) reverse seared to 125deg. 24+ hour dry brine with nothing but very expired McCormick steak seasoning my dad gave me :unsure:. I usually shy away from pre mixed seasonings, especially big name brands like McCormick, but this turned out surprisingly awesome. Basted with clarified butter. Could cut through this with a spoon.

We just got a Wagyu tri-tip from Whole Paycheck. We've never done a tri-tip before. TONS (literally) of steaks/roast/burger of course but never a tri-tip.

We don't have a smoker. Is it worth it to buy a cheap smoker just for this one time? Or will grilling be just about as good?

You can do it indirect on a Weber kettle, just really regulate your fire temps and keep an eye on it.

It is doable. I've done it on a kettle grill but it takes a long time and a careful eye. I divide the grill in almost half with 2 regular bricks. Load the one side with charcoal the other side for the tri tip- Indirect heat is the key and you have to feed the charcoal multiple times unless you use a large chunk Lump charcoal. Good luck.

Yeah, you should clean that grill.

I have a company come out every spring and do it when we do the pool deck, windows, etc. They do a great job and they make it look literally brand spanking’ new.

I’m not a huge fan of those v channel grates because that makes it messier, but they really do help with keeping a lot of shit from dripping on the burners.
