How long does it take for the meat to reach temperature
I found it took about 30 minutes to reach 120 degrees.
how do you get the convector out while the egg is still hot
Use the Big Green Egg EGGmitt.
Don’t you have grill mittens or gloves for your bbq. Remember it’s only 250 degrees. Just like picking up metal tools on the sun in Phoenix in June !!!!!!!’
high temp oven gloves. of course BGE sells their own.
This is a fantastic recipe. One of the best I have ever made on my Egg. I will say that I did brine the tri tip in one gallon of water, one beer, one cup of sugar and half cup of salt. The chimichurri is fantastic.

This was a great recipe. The reverse searing method is the way to do it! I especially liked the Chimichurri on the meet. It added a great flavor.
