INGREDIENTS:
2  (3-pound) tri-tip roasts 
  Basting Sauce, recipe follows 
  Seasoning Salt Mixture, recipe follows 
 
DIRECTIONS:
1.  Heat grill to low. 
2.  Coat both sides of the tri-tips with half of the seasoning mixture, rubbing it in as you 
  would a dry rub. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. 
3.  Place the tri-tip over a low temperature fire, 1 with fat side up, and the other with fat 
  side down. Turn as the first side gets crispy, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Be careful 
  of flare-ups, as the dripping fat will fuel the fire. 
4.  Turn the tri-tips before the heat pushes juices out the top, and continue to turn using
  this timing method throughout the cooking process. After turning, baste with sauce 
  and season lightly, 4 times per side.
5.  Continue turning until the tri-tips are cooked to your liking. Remove from the fire and
  let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into ½-inch slices against the grain.
