Have you ever smoked a tri-tip and had it turn out dry or too smoky? This recipe is easy and produces a tender and juicy tri-tip with just the right amount of smoke. The roast is smoked low and slow for about an hour and then seared over a hot fire. It's delicious! Give it a try.
Setup the smoker to cook at 225°F. Trim the excess fat from the tri-tip roast. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano.
Smoke the roast for about an hour until the internal temperature reaches 110°F. Remove the roast and cover with foil for 15 minutes to let it rest.
While the roast is resting, setup the smoker for direct heat and raise the temperature to about 400°F. Return the roast to the smoker and grill (turning over once) until the internal temperature reaches 124°F degrees.
Rest the roast for about 10 minutes. Slice across the grain and serve.
