I Smoked a Tri Tip Like a Brisket | Here’s What Happened

Описание: I smoked a tri‑tip like a brisket to see if this cut could handle a long, slow cook—and the results surprised me. In this video, I take a classic California tri‑tip and run it through a full brisket-style process on the Z Grills pellet smoker: low and slow, wrapped, rested, and sliced just like a traditional packer brisket.
