  • 2-3 pound tri-tip roast
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
  1. Brush tri-tip roast with oil (or cover in cold bacon grease). Combine salt, sugar, garlic and black pepper, sprinkle evenly over the surface of the meat. Set Aside. Prepare smoker for a cooking temperature around 225 to 250 degrees F. After allowing roast to sit with the seasoning for around 30 minutes, place in heated smoker.
