Step 1

Trim excess fat and sinew from Tri-tip roast and season with a layer of Killer Hogs TX Rub followed by a light layer of Killer Hogs Hot Rub.

Step 2

Prepare smoker for indirect cooking at 275°F using pecan wood. This recipe was cooked on an Outlaw Stick Burning pit but you can use any pit – just keep the temps the same.

Step 3

Place the Tri-tip on the smoker, insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the roast and smoke for 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F

Step 4

Wrap the tri-tip in pink butcher paper and return to the smoker.

Step 5

Continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 200°F; at this point remove it from the pit and rest for 20 minutes before slicing against the grain.
