Completely different Tritip is usually cooked by grilling

Similar to a steak and is usually done to medium rare. Think a nice quality MEd rare steak. I'd agree with KC it's my favorite cut if beef.

Brisket is usually smoked low and slow, with a nice smokey tender pull apart with your fingers consistency. Think a slow roasted chuck roast but with more flavor.

What is the difference between a tri-tip and brisket in taste? Similar?

Honestly, tri-tip is better and SO much easier.

Which wood choice for tri-tip?

It's a short cook (50 min) so anything is fine.

I have smoked tri-tip for 5 hours or so and it was delicious as well.

So... Tri-tip for sure - What else for this weekend? Ribs?

tarmstrong

Ribs are good, Pulled Pork with a bone in pork shoulder is really good.

Go with a pork butt instead of ribs. Easier and less technique

First smoke should probably be a pork butt.
