Sensitive... So to sum it up go with a true smoked BBQ MEAT in the Pork shoulder and then do a grilled Tri tip smoked to medium rare and you'll have your bases covered.

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

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

OK... Tri-tip has now gone to the top of my list for this weekend

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.

Completely different Tritip is usually cooked by grilling

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

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

First smoke should probably be a pork butt.
