Newbie to smoking. Today I will do my first smoke job on my new Traeger. I will be doing a Tri Tip. Yesterday I prepared the meat using a dry rub and letting it sit in the fridge overnight. If you have any pointers, I am open - wish me luck.

Happy Smoking!
Don

Thanks for the nice welcome. My Tri Tip turned out okay but room for improvement for sure. Nothing was wasted, 3.5 # Tip was eaten and enjoyed. Family had hard time understanding why meat did not have that seared looked. It was just a bit too salty for me, otherwise not bad. Thinking of doing pork tenderloin next.

Well I have had my smoker since July and I must say it has been fun. I have smoked lots of different meats, mostly successes but a few I was not so proud of. I think my favorite is Tri Tip followed closely by beef tenderloin and tri tip. Learned a lot about runs and sauses and have mix several of my own. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and suggestions. Pulled pork and ribs for Memorial Day weekend here.
