As already said, get all you can but definitely don't skip on the brisket. Just as good as Franklin and snows, it's phenomenal. I was thinking of making a trip this Friday as well which would be my third visit.

Anyone had Harlem Rd bbq in Richmond? Popped up on my Instagram feed. And in clicking around I found another new place I think in the east end called Victorian bbq. Looks pretty tasty. They do a whole tri tip which I'm interested to try just for novelties sake.
My only experience with them was at the last Houston Throwdown. I was interested in trying them because I wasn't familiar. They weren't as creative as everyone else, but their ribs were good enough to warrant a trip to their location for sure.ChipFTAC01 said:

Have you ever had smoked TriTip? We do them all the time at the house and they're great. They also smoke pretty fast (60-90 min) and have an excellent flavor. We cooked them all the time in Oregon because they're readily available. I like them smoked, grilled, or oven roasted.
Going to Paso Robles this weekend. First thing we're doing off the plane is getting Tri Tip.Jock 07 said:
Tri-tip is really popular on the central coast in CA often called Santa Maria BBQ. they typically grill it over a fire on a grill with an adjustable grate that allows them to keep it off of the direct heat. If done right it's damn good. Smoked tri-tip sounds like it could be really good. Especially if they have some good salsa for it as well.
Best spot I ever found was a little market in Los Olivos. Don't remember the name of it but shouldn't be hard to find. Only on Saturdays IIRCNColoradoAG said:Going to Paso Robles this weekend. First thing we're doing off the plane is getting Tri Tip.Jock 07 said:

That looks too far south for us. I've got three spots lined out. Hopefully I can get the other three going on the trip on board.Jock 07 said:Best spot I ever found was a little market in Los Olivos.

Yeah I lived in Frisco for awhile and thankfully the Kroger by my place had them. Luckily I live in Dripping Springs now and the HEB there seems to always have them.
Tri Tip? Doubtful it would be any good at that temp. Maybe if you took it all the way there at a 250 cook temp, but I'd still think it'd turn out really tough.Cstrickland05 said:OregonAggie said:

Smoked one last night for dinner. 250 for about 1.5 hrs for medium rare. Delicious as always. I have heard some people cook them to brisket range in the 200s. Anyone do this, and is it good?

Agreed. The cut always seems to soak up the right amount of smoke in the 60-90 minutes it takes to get to 125 before searing. Especially if you go heavy on coarse pepper.OregonAggie said:Cstrickland05 said:OregonAggie said:

I did that the first time I smoked one and it was pretty tough like NColoradoAG said. Cooking to medium rare is the way to go.

Let us know what you think about it. I went there a few weeks ago and wasn't impressed. While I say that, I'll check them out again because maybe I went on an off day.
