As a lifelong resident of central CA, I’ve had a few Tritips. They’re exceedingly common around here.

I use a dry rub and then I either smoke them at 200 until about 135 or grill at 325 until the same temp. Both come out fine.

I’m going to try the brisket method tomorrow. I’m intrigued. I’ve been wanting to try a brisket but haven’t wanted to drop the $ on that big of a hunk of meat.

A small and great alternative to brisket is chuck roast. It's fatty and has connective tissue so cooking just like a brisket works great.

I did one today. About 11 hours total, wrapped at 163. Only rested 30 minutes. Meat Church Honey Bacon rub.

It. Was. Wonderful. I’m so impressed.

I agree. Chuck roast is a great alternative brisket.

Consistently delicious. Easy to cook and makes me look like a pro. Temp to just below desired cook is key for me, the "rest" takes care of the balance of cook.

This is exactly how I do it and I get raves every time. I pull it between 130-140 depending on how much attention I’m paying. Always great either way. 130 is better. The center needs to be very pink if not red. Lunatics who like their steak more well done can eat the pointier ends.
