Place Tri Tip on the hot side of the grill and grill for approximately 8 minutes per side to form a nice crust. (Reserve remaining marinade) Move the Tri Tip to the cooler side of the grill, close the cover and allow the Tri Tip to cook until it reaches an internal Temp. of 125 degrees for rare, approximately 15 – 20 minutes, or 155 degrees for Medium.

 two zone cooking –  The most versatile way to cook, the two-zone fire is your first choice for cooking most foods on the grill. To create a two-zone fire, position coals on one side of the grill for direct, high-heat cooking and searing and leave the other side empty. You can use the side without coals for lower-temperature cooking and as a safe zone for flare-ups.
