Tri-tip in a cob oven.

Ok, I know it cooks bread and pizza's So how about tri-tip?

First I built a hot fire and place some fire bricks on the sides of the fire.

Next place my cooking grate on the bricks to preheat.

Place the tri-tip on to sear and start moving the coals for offset cooking.

Coals all moved and tri-tiped flipped.

Temp probe in place. It took a while but the heat burned out my probe.

Modified charcoal lighter made a nice air flow director/heat door and it preheats my next stick nicely!

Pulled and resting!

Done a little more than I wanted but still not bad!

With a smaller fire to keep the temps down, I think just about any offset cooking could be attempted in this oven!

Thanks guys for the comments!

Kevin, although I built the oven for pizza and bread, I'm finding it is a very versatile oven. I'm sure I will be playing with it for some time to come. Eventually I think I will and on to the cover structure and make an outdoor kitchen. I can see having this oven working along side of my smoker and grill for large gatherings of family and friends!

Very cool Tom C. You appreciate the extra cooking capacity when you have a crowd and especially when you need the higher temps to cook ABT,s and such.
