First attempt - Tri-tip


i used a tri-tip, coated with my spicy rub. Things were pretty smooth - First wood change at 4 hours, but then at 7 hours I had to go to a commitment, and when I got back it was overdone. Great tase, but very dry. My wife and i scarfed down what was edible, and I wanted more than ever to smoke me something good.


I made a lot of adjustments to the temperature knob while I was there, and soon realized that the wood itself contributes greately to the heat, so of course when it burns out, the temparature drops. Also, I can affect the temperature by controlling the airflow - more air for more heat. Still learning the exact best way to control the heat.
