Ok, first real smoked meal, a piece of tri tip rubbed with my secret store bought concoction:confused:, was AMAZING. Pork is still cooking, but oh my god that tri tip is amazing!. My friend was here, and is a tri tip lover, took the first bite and looked at me and said "worth every penny, never had one like that, you need to do that again really soon".

I say again the Mak is awesome.

I could even see the smoke ring in the meat. Just amazing how uniform this thing cooks.

@ sparky....had two things on at the same time. Grill at 225 for the duration, tri tip ran for about four hours, pork shoulder was first on and last off just a tick under 11 hours. It was a perfet day here about 78 degrees, and it used about 10-11 pounds of pellets.

@Deb, yes I have pictures, but I still need to setup a photobucket account so I can post. Working on it.

The secret to good Tri Tip is don't try to get too Fancy. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Fat cap up at 250-275 until IT is about 140. Take off let rest and cut agings the grain. Wow just the best.

Yup, I did a quick rub with my all purpose rub, pulled at exactly 140 on an instant read thermometer.

I know, it really says it all doesn't it?

And as if there was any doubt, my family and friends devoured the entire pork shoulder, a 2 pound tri tip, and about a pound of bacon, along with about two and a half quarts of fresh coleslaw.

They were all ready to lick the pans. I know clearly understand that I must smoke in much larger quantities than I anticipated, and I get why BP sells pellets in 480 pound bulk packs. I really didn't understand that until now.

Live an learn......
