Santa Maria Style Tri-Tip | Old Country Vaquero

I'm testing out the Old Country Vaquero for the first time and what better way than to cook a tri-tip on it.

Looks great to me, can never see too much of a tri tip cook! Nice rig too!

[@gharv1313]

Great Job AJ! That Tri tip looks amazing. And digging your new Santa Maria grill , hope to see more cooks on this machine. Cheers brother 🍻

Heck Yeah.....char is where the flavor is at....nice looking tri tip. Cheers!

[@googanbbq]

Thanks Stephen!

[@troyv8302]

That looked freaking good AJ. That char was the real deal and bet ya it was some pretty good flavor from that. Like the new Santa Maria too!

[@googanbbq]

It was excellent! Thanks Troy!

[@AlLunacyQing]

Excellent cook! Love that char! I'm just waiting for the weather to cool down a little to begin cooking on mine. Going to try my hand at welding so I can make a small brasero for mine that way I'll mostly cook with embers. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers bud!

[@googanbbq]

I look forward to seeing that Al! I hear ya, that weather has been brutally hot!

[@Mankitchenrecipes]

[@googanbbq]

[@SleeperBBQ]

Nice Googan as bad as want one of them Santa Maria style grills, I just can't pull the trigger on one, they look fun to cook on. Nice Yob TY

[@googanbbq]

Why can’t you pull the trigger?

[@SleeperBBQ]

@@googanbbq fixed income, retired life wish I was working again 😆 I search market place about every night

[@yesitsmario88]

Nothing wrong with a little char, Tri-Tip looks good! I actually prefer Tri-Tip closer to medium about 139-140F and thinly sliced!

[@googanbbq]

Thanks Mario! It was great!

[@Taliban2003]

🔥🔥🔥😋😋

[@judgewepbbq]

Char is flavor, right? Nice pit! 🔥

[@googanbbq]

Thanks Wep!

[@Jamz2k]

I’m looking at the same grill from academy, was it worth the $?

[@googanbbq]

I think it was worth it. If you want to grill Santa Maria style, there aren’t many options at this price point. If you keep it covered or out of the weather, it should last a long time. Good luck!

What was that cone thing?

[@googanbbq]

It’s called a “flambadou.” It’s a a midevil tool used to melt fat or butter.
