Good morning Fellow Lizards. This past weekend I got to make a real treat. I got a nice fresh cut tri-tip, got my hands on santa maria seasoning and also picked up some red oak (the secret to santa maria bbq) from my favorite wood place. The results: A nice 3 lb tri-tip, perfectly seasoned With EVOO brushed on and the santa maria seasoning, slow smoked with the read oak until it reached 145 then fast seared over what was left of the log I used for smoking:
