Brisket Style Tri Tip

Brisket Style Tri Tip

I’ve seen a lot of people smoking tri tip like a brisket. And I’ve been skeptical… But I had to try it out and I was surprised. Smoking a Tri Tip like a brisket produced some flavorful, juicy meat. Some folks thought it was better than brisket. And it was a lot quicker to cook a tri tip that a whole brisket too.
