I learned how to smoke a tri tip<\/a> on Traeger fairly early on. This is a pretty affordable cut of meat and my family used to smoke it for weekday dinners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, I have had time to perfect my recipe and methodology. It is now time to share it with you!<\/p>\n\n\n

How to Turn Your Pellet Grill Into a Traeger Smoker?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you are probably aware, if you have a Traeger grill that works on pellets, then it can be turned into a smoker. So, how do you do this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that’s the great part about using a Traeger pellet grill – making smoked tri tip on any smoked meat at all is a breeze!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, make sure that there are enough of pellets in your pellet hopper. This will ensure that you are able to make your Traeger smoked tri tip without any interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have done this, all you need to do is to preheat your Traeger grill to 225 degrees F. Close the lid and let it be for 15 minutes. Then, open up the lid, place your meat on the grill grates, close the lid, and smoke until you reach the desired internal temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tri Tip Roast vs. Tri Tip Steak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I do want to address one thing before moving onto the recipe – the kind of tri tip cuts<\/a> you can find at your butcher shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, there are two two types: tri tip roast and tri tip steak. The tri tip roast is taken from the bottom sirloin subprimal cut. It is a crescent shaped cut of beef and can weigh up to 5lbs, whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tri tip steak is merely the roast being cut into smaller slices<\/a>. You would typically grill these sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For smoking, however, the tri tip roast<\/a> is a far better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
