The Perfect Cooker! | Pulled Tri-Tip On El Patron!| LSG

Has anyone out there heard of Pulled Tri-Tip? I haven't, so as part of learning the ins and outs of my lonestargrillz... El Patron, I thought I'd give it a try! I kicked off this cook low and slow overnight, running the pit at a very low temperature before wrapping it the next morning. The results of this cook were amazing, and the El Patron ran like a dream! Here are those pickles: www.janspickle...
Wild Sauce Recipe:
1 1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup Ketchup
1/4 cup Yellow Mustard
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dill pickle juice

You need to give us a backyard tour. It always looks like you're in the jungle LOL (In a good way)

[@wcneathery3100]

Agree, also include a tour of your cookers.

[@kdranchaz3240]

Awesome cook Greg! Pulled Tri-tip? That took BALLS. Great job! Look forward to seeing you do a brisket or beef plate ribs on that cooker next!

[@user-cm3wd5hk1p]

I’ve done it but with salsa in the wrap. It’s good but not my favorite

[@robtynan1390]

Great cook. Would love to see a reverse sear steak video. One of my concerns with the El Patron is closest distance from raising grate to cooking grids is 6”. Seems kind of far for reverse sear. Other than that this is a very tempting pit purchase.

[@garyjennings9458]

Wow Greg, maybe I can get rid of some of the stuff on the patio and just have a Partron😉

[@BallisticBBQ]

It's a Swiss Army knife! Cheers, Gary!

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Pulled tri-tip?! You're a mad man, Greg! I don't know why, but tri-tip is one of my favorite meats to BBQ. Just made a Costco 2-pack with a dry rub on the PBC for Father's Day and it was outstanding!

[@JustGrillingandChilling.]

A nice big chicken on the rotisserie would be nice to see…. Love this El Patron cooker, thanks for sharing Greg!!….(just wish LSG had a distributor in Canada….)

[@gsmoneygsmoney1479]

Nice cook. Can’t wait to see a brisket on this

[@James-oh1wp]

Great job! Never thought of using tri tip like that … adding this to the repertoire :)

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup Greg, great idea, really great cook👍. I did one different because I over grilled it, was well-done so be rock hard, I then put it in crockpot with half stick butter, Worcestershire sauce and more rub.. was delicious mistake lol. I now grill chuck before put in crockpot that way for pulled beef.. served well no teeth lol. Need a food stand in side Rd and sell.. great video bro, tyvm tc

[@BallisticBBQ]

Turning lemons into lemonade!

[@hablep]

Cmon man. I waited 6 months for my Lone Star pellet Grillz to show up, based solely on your videos. Now 2 weeks later I guess I am going to have to start shopping for my next, a Patron. You’re killing me. 😊

[@BallisticBBQ]

LOL! Hold off and enjoy that pellet grill a while first. No need to hurry at all!

[@Adam_K_W]

Another great job! I’d have never imagined doing a pulled Tri Tip! That’s borderline alchemy! I’m so glad you liked the Pickles! All the best Brother!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Cheers, Brother-Adam! Thanks again!

[@RaiderPowerTTU]

That looks like a tremendous cooker. Local company for me, so definitely on the list for a future smoker / grill at some future home.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Excellent looking pulled beef sandwich. Cheers, Greg! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

[@gbouley1]

🙌 Very interesting cook. I’m from the North East and we don’t normally see Tri-Tip roasts but been wanting to do a pulled roast beef for a while. Beef has been so expensive. I like the simplicity to your cook. The smoker seems interesting….wish you had more details on the setup for the getting the temp right. Minion method for the briskets? And the water pan. I’ve used the a Weber Smokey Mountain ( WSM) for years. And have recently switched to a kamato egg style smoker for its flexibility. Still exploring and learning.

[@tri-tipjunkie]

Looks delicious I have thought about doing a cook like this now I definitely will.👍

[@davidmech2956]

Outstanding!

[@gorb5102]

Excellent cook. Great idea.

[@shawnmitcham9824]

TriTip cooled as a brisket is insanely good. Just like brisket. We make it often because as a family of small size (only us parents eat beef) so it eats well without trying to figure out how to handle all of the leftovers.

[@BallisticBBQ]

We do that as well! Family of three here!

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Going to have to give this one a try Greg!!! Thnx for the vid!!! ~Chris

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for checking it out, Chris!

[@leedoss6905]

I'll have mine sliced if possible please. 12:10 I abhor stringy meat sandwiches.😂 Great job on the cook.❤

[@jigomez1989]

I have to make pulled trip tip now, looks great. Cheers from San Diego

[@garryhammond3117]

Thanks Greg! - Cheers!

[@jeffhaddox2239]

Years ago when I was working and grilling less I did a tri-tip in a crockpot that you only put a packet of onion soup mix and a small jar of grape jelly. It ended up shredding well but was bland for sandwiches, and with a little adjustment of some garlic and some spice heat it was decent pulled pork beef sandwiches when the weather was bad probably haven’t made it since I picked up another Weber Kettle 👍

[@BallisticBBQ]

This had some great smoke flavor, but I'll probably stick with med-rare tri tip and pulled chuck.

[@jeffhaddox2239]

@@BallisticBBQ me too

[@ask_jeebs]

Jan's pickles are the best!

[@SmokedReb]

Awesome BBQ video. The El Patron looks to be a champ. I can't wait until we see that brisket or rotisserie cook on this thing!

[@BallisticBBQ]

It's a fun cooker, Brian! Looking forward to seeing what else it can do. Cheers, brother!

[@SmokedReb]

@@BallisticBBQ can't wait! I felt this video was like a call back to the OG ballistic BBQ. I love seeing the whole BBQ process from the late nights to early mornings. Cheers!!

Just when I thought I had seen it all on KZbin BBQ and you go and pull a stunt like pulled Tri-tip………AND TOTALLY TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!!!! You rule Greg.

"Slappy...swammy....SAMSONITE! I was WAY off."

[@squidikka]

Great video, I'm really liking the all-in-one aspect of this. Usually with all in ones it's a jack of all trades but master of none, but seems so far it's batting just fine with the big boys. Looking forward to more videos. Do you think this has potential to be a forever grill?

[@wcneathery3100]

Another outstanding video Greg.

[@caveygaming]

Ok, so lately I've done pulled pork, pulled beef (chuck roast) and yesterday I did a pulled chicken. I've been making sandwiches, Enchiladas and tacos with the meat. Now, you do this?? Since I love tri tip and have one in the freezer I must try this.

[@GaryORiveraSr]

Very impressive cooker and cook

[@alvaradobrewhouse6387]

Pulled Tri-Tip? Who would've thought.... Pretty cool man.

[@homevalueglass3809]

Wow, I'll bet that was good. Try tips are a delicacy at my house. $4/lb is very good. I'll have to try that with sonw horseradish sauce.

[@Hudsoj]

I’d like to see a spare/back rib cook.

[@timothydembeck2980]

Really liking your channel Tri tip looked awesome!

[@mikeprescott7658]

There are several pulled tri tip videos out there. It’s delicious.

[@perplane]

Great video Greg. Curious why you don't use a meat thermometer probe rig in your meats to monitor the temps. Not that it has affected the results of your cooks because you always seem to nail it. We appreciate your efforts and always learn from them. Thanks again for what you do!

[@jessehunt1600]

A Magpul/Ballistic BBQ collaboration shirt would be sweet!

[@derontucker7173]

I buy tritip allllllllll the time, and I did this morning at about 8am this morning…. Before I saw this when it came across my YT feed….. I was planning on Sous vide for this one I just bought, I always do the 135 for mid rare, sear, rest and eat…. Or sear, rest put in the fridge until the next day and slice thin for French dip sandwiches….. I’ve not thought of doing a pulled version…. So this will have to happen next cook…. Here in Ft. worth TX tritip must not be as cheap as in Cali…. Bcuz this one I bought was $25 and was 2.75lbs… our Chuck roasts are far cheaper…. My corn on the cob I just bought was $0.25 per ear…. So I got 10 for $2.50 lol…. It’s crazy the price difference is from place to place… A year ago this time I got an entire case of corn (48 ears) for $2.40….. yes $0.05 per ear…. Price fluctuation is wild. Anyways. Your cook looks amazing, I’ve watched your channel for so long I can’t even remember, it started on my Roku, easily 8-9yrs ago…. Keep it coming!

[@MrRatFinkster]

With that charcoal basket, did you do a minion light, or all at once? Looks like a great cook

[@Dantheman659]

Have been wanting to try this for a while,good job,looks awesome,what temp did you pull at for shredded?

[@vansavant822]

Greg... nice work... maybe I missed it, but what was the internal temperature when you took it off? I know it's more of a "feel" thing with the probe and all, but was it upwards of 200* internal? Thanks vs

[@BallisticBBQ]

I honestly wasn't paying attention to the internal cook, but I would guess the low 200s?

[@HansenMath]

Would like to see a face off: Brisket or Pork Butt on El Patron VS. Offset. Pros and Cons! Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving :)

[@jaybooth4815]

Dang, that looks delicious Greg! Do you remember what the temp was before you wrapped it? The stout beer was a great braising liquid too. Awesome cook! Cheers!

[@llewdis]

What about doing a clone of the Cold Springs Tavern Tri-tip Sandwich w/apple horseradish, salsa and BBQ sauce? That new cooker would seem perfect for that type of cook.

[@chrismoreno1836]

I know this is not an offset. Would you be able to do a wood only smoke on a brisket?

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yes, I plan on demonstrating more of those "traditional" BBQ cooks.

[@garystepp1054]

Nice looking result! Final temp?

[@clairemarin2009]

[@harrywarren5081]

My El Patron has been built and should ship any day. Do you have the Fireboard setup for this cooker? How about a brisket cook?

[@David-burrito]

Cool jar!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks again, brother!

[@searljd]

Can you recommend the Badger smoker?

[@danielmontes9410]

Great video! Next time can we see your setup on the pit?

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yes, but could you be a little more specific? I showed the charcoal basket, the damper settings and showed that the charcoal grate was being used as a defuser. What else would help?

[@gsbbq4870]

You might be on to something. Good job and going to try it!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you!

[@gotwacks]

Great video, thanks! I'm wondering if I can hang ribs in one of these. This is so versatile, but I really want to hang ribs. Maybe from the rotisserie spit (not active, just there). What do you think?

[@BallisticBBQ]

Great minds! I was actually thinking the same thing… the shaft that raises and lowers the charcoal grate would get in the way though.

[@dr.g7980]

Can you cook a beef Shoulder Clod on it like you’ve done in the past on your pellet grill? I wonder how it would handle that monster cut. Thanks for another great video!

[@BallisticBBQ]

That's usually a goto test!

[@BabyBackManiac]

Its crazy how you can just wing crap like this and come up with a sandwich like that! Great job, buddy.

[@byronargueta1026]

What can i use as a liquid instead off the stout? Thanks

[@rickdomingo6122]

What accessories did u get with your El patron??

[@mikekeller5202]

How’d the steak turn out with your 2nd cook? It sounds the el patron performs as advertised

[@albertomartinez1936]

Pernil pork shoulder. Mop it and get the skin really crispy.

[@TJ-tb3xm]

Looks great! What was the final finishing temp?

[@BallisticBBQ]

Guessing low 200s? I just went off of tenderness.

Here is an option, I live in middle GA a Florida transplant from 1970. But wild game? Turtle, quail, dove, gator and my favorite frog legs...can you do a real Southern cook that includes 3 of these?

[@stinkleaf]

Awesome. But I wish you would document your steps using the grill.

[@chrishall1407]

BBQ sauce looks like Blues Hog Tennessee red.

[@Mickcotton]

Looks Delicious. A creamy horseradish sauce like at Arby’s Would be great also I think A Hawaiian Huli Style Rotisserie Chicken would be great on that Pit also w/ Mesquite lump. Cheers 🥂 Thank you so much for your Lessons Stay Cool 😎.

I'm actually planning a rotisserie chicken cook. Cheers, Mike!

[@stevefoltz3838]

Try SusieQs seasoning for tri tip.

[@hmmn4769]

How much does brisket cost per lb, where you are?

[@cybernode33]

Having switched from Qstoves to Asmoke, I can confidently say that my outdoor grilling experience has been elevated. The Asmoke pellet grill's precise temperature control is a game-changer, allowing me to cook my meat to perfection every time. The fact that I can use different flavored wood pellets to enhance the taste of my food is fantastic. Plus, its portability is a major bonus, I've taken it camping and even on road trips. It's also environmentally friendly, using wood pellets made from recycled materials. I love that it's not just a grill, but also a smoker, roaster, and baker. The convenience of the automated control and pellet feeding system is unmatched by Qstoves. Most importantly, the rechargeable battery system allows me to grill anywhere, anytime. Asmoke truly changed the way I do outings. #Asmoke.

[@saltwatersoulforever9408]

Honest though, what's your thoughts on the flavor vs an offset?

[@BallisticBBQ]

I thought it was pretty close to an offset, but ask me again when I do a brisket or butt. This wasn't your "normal" BBQ cook.

[@allanmartin4727]

Look forward to a pizza cook.

Loved the cook but as it was supposed to be about the cooker I would love it if you showed more about the setup rather than the food as we all know what pulled beef is

[@BallisticBBQ]

I did an entire video on just the cooker with no food at all. Now I'm shooting videos on what it can do. What would you have liked to see that would have made this video better?

[@garycolwell5164]

Hi Greg, thank you for your response I think in all honesty I never had any major issues with the video but as I live in the UK and am very interested in the El Patron I would like to see some more information on how it sets up for varying cook styles at the beginning of each cook so that it can assist any potential purchase as the shipping costs will obviously make the unit quite expensive. Gary

[@DamienWillis]

You "relize?"

[@michaelduncan2759]

Greg, great video however, you do realize that millions of Santa Marian’s and Gaucho’s are rolling over in their graves?

[@BallisticBBQ]

I did this video fully expecting to piss a few people off! I questioned whether I should do it or not, since I used to get bugged at seeing "tri tip cooked like brisket" videos. This was so cheap, that I thought I'd go for it. There are so many regular tri tip vids out there.

[@michaelduncan2759]

@@BallisticBBQ yessir so very true about the regular videos on tri-tip, do not worry I have done the same thing even when I lived next door to Santa Maria as an experiment years ago. You would have thought I had disgraced a National hero. I enjoy changing up cooking methods, and sometimes you just want a nice pulled BBQ sandwich.

Can you recommend the Badger smoker?

[@BallisticBBQ]

I did a video review of the Badger kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipTJmn6pps1jbbs. It's not a "forever grill" but for the money it's pretty good. If that's the budget you're working with, I think it's great.
