What to put in the smoker this weekend?

[Buff]

I saved the juice to make gravy to go with Chicken Fried Steak (NY Strips) which is tomorrows dinner.
We typically just drizzle a little doctored up BBQ, just a little so not to take away from the meat.

Last time i did a brisket I mixed it with just a little BBQ sauce after I separated the fat from it and it tasted great. I didn't poor it over the brisket but left a small dish of it next to the brisket.

I generally like the brisket pretty much plain but I liked this a lot.

How much beef broth ?

Awesome rack of ribs rubbed, in the fridge and ready to get smoked tomorrow. Some homemade slaw, tomato basil salad and baked potatoes as sides. Maybe some corn on the cob. Hell yeah. I refuse to let summer end, dammit.

I added a can of broth when I covered and had about 1/2cup<> left in the pan.

Tried a kirkland-marinated tritip from costco this week on my new pellet smoker. The wifi option on my GMG was pretty awesome, and made it super simple, though wifi itself seems like it's flaky and disconnects from the iphone whenever the screen locks and the app goes in the background.

Wife and daughter did not like it at all. The ends were a good medium and the middle medium rare or maybe even rare. Personally I didn't like their marinade choice too much, but the meat was still more chewy than I would have liked too. They didn't finish. My young son on the other hand ate a ton of it, no surprise there since he's a meat-eater. Not my favorite option - will probably be a while before I try tri-tip again, and I won't get pre-marinaded again. These seem pretty popular on pellet grills, is it just the price that's the most attractive?

I also picked up a couple surface thermometers, since I don't trust that I have an even cooking surface across the grill yet, and I'm pretty sure the digital thermo is a lot cooler than the therm. on top, so something is off.

My issue with store marinated is. Who knows how long said item has been sitting in the liquid. Marinades at home are controlled by you, know exactly what's been added and how long the item will marinade.

Tri-tip is one of those meats i pass on. It needs to be cooked through like a pot roast. There's more options with a chuck roast for a better price point. YMMV
