Well.. Let me start with the thermo failure. After the burn in and seasoning of the Scottsdale yesterday I was beat. I was also hungry so I used the last bit of coals to cook a flat iron steak. I used my quickly hand held poke and read thermometer to check the temp. I stuck it into the steak and it was near done. I ran upstairs quickly to get a plate and when I returned the heat kinds of warped the rear housing of my thermometer. 
So on to today’s cook. My 100th cook for my site was today. I wanted it to be something different and tasty. I went with the Cajun Seafood stuffed Tri Tip using the Cajun Shrimp and scallops recipe I posted a while back as the stuffing. All went well... Cooking on the Scottsdale with the black iron skillet was a blast.
After the seafood was cooked I stuffed the Tri tip and put it on the cooker. Using my slightly warped thermometer I checked temp and removed the meat at 135 degrees as I always do. Wrapped it and let it rest. When I carved into the Tri Tip I was thinking man, this looks like it’s well done.
And as the first piece of my creation was carved off I then knew it to be reality. My thermo was off and I had a well done Tri Tip. What a way to hose up my 100th cook that I had been planning for 3 weeks!
Well, I don't like the texture of well-done beef. I'm a medium to medium rare guy. That said the meat had great flavor and the shrimp, scallops, shrooms etc. were delicious.
