I've been asked to cook for a tailgating event where there will be a live fire cooker. For one of the meats I want to smoke a bunch of tri tips to about 115 then sear the heck out of them. I have 1.5 hour drive to the event so trying to figure out best way to smoke them at my house, then keep that 115 fairly steady so when I get to event I can sear them off to 125 or so and rest. Any ideas? I have cambors that I can put them in but worried that temp would drop quite a bit. Might be over thinking this, but want to make sure I get the cook right.

Seems like they'd be fine in a cooler for a couple hours

Stack them tight in the cambros, and you'll be fine. I'd dry them off with some paper towels before searing them to make sure you get some color quickly.
