Tri Tip on a Santa Maria Grill for Weber Kettle | Gabby's Grills

[@budzlightyear2212]

Turned out AWESOME!Hands down the coolest add on to the Weber kettle EVER! This is how Santa MariaTri-Tip is done...

[@looptone]

Is it me or TRoys videos are that much more relaxing with the pool/fountain in the background? 🤣

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Troy that's the best accessory for the Weber Kettle that I've seen to date and looks very well built! Your tri tip looked KILLER!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Rus, thanks brother!!! I'm really diggin' this Santa Maria grill attachment. It is very well made and the flavor of the meat is phenomenal. You know I had to throw some Cayenne in the mix brother!! Good stuff on grilled beef!! LOL Hope to see you again soon!!!

[@markennes5208]

I need to get me one of them

[@jaguar5198]

Very nice job on the tri-tip T-Roy. The It's Incredible rub.......wonderful!!! Definitely looking forward to seeing more great food using the Santa Maria.

[@marcinorkin-schoepel8817]

Hey T-Roy…as always, a great video. A few corrections from our ranch in Paso Robles; for traditional Santa Maria (SM) Grilled meat, you MUST use Red Oak. Red Oak burns smoky and imparts a flavor that is unique to the varietal. Also, when you grill with a SM Grill, you are actually cooking the meat more by the smoke rather than the heat. Typically, you hold your hand over the top of the adjustable grill surface and when you can hold your hand comfortably until the count of four (4), that is the perfect height above the coals. You raise and lower the grill surface as the heat rises and drops to maintain the 4-second count. A tri-tip will typically take 1-1/2 hours to grill. The inside will appear rare, but it not; that’s because it is “smoked” and not cooked fully with heat. For those that desire a real Santa Maria Grill, they are available at Home Depot, Lowe’s, and from www.santamariagrills.com/ LOVE your videos...thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. We have a custom built SM Grill at the ranch. The photo shows two (2) 3” Center Cut Filets that are just about done (75-minutes) and you can see how high the grill is above the Red Oak coals still. BTW: they were amazing last night.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks for the feedback and tips Marci. I appreciate you watching!

[@nerfmadeeasy]

You always keep things original and entertaining. Really enjoyed this cook.

[@TROYCOOKS]

That's because I love to have fun when I'm cooking. If you ain't having fun, then it's not worth the effort. Thanks for watching Thomas!!!

[@williamduberstine2454]

Glad to see this video. I love the design of this weber accessory. Hoping to add one to my arsenal pretty soon. I think this was a great display of it's all wood cooking capabilities. Thank you, T-roy, for cooking responsibly!

[@DaveMurphy58]

One more thing Troy, I just got my 18.5 Santa Maria accessory today and I cooked a prime tri tip from Costco on it I've also cooked one Low and slow on my Cheyenne and it was fantastic. You're right about this accessory, very well built!

[@jeremybennett2444]

I’ve been wanting to cook over a wood fire for awhile and this accessory will be great on my kettle to get it done. Thanks!

[@timkamholz1009]

Looks good even in the cold weather.

[@toddblessing9937]

Man that grill attachment is slick,great video,

[@Starlight_GT]

Slow clap for you sir that tri-tip was cooked and rested to perfection

[@CookingWithRy]

Tri Tip is my go-to cut of beef. Love it. And you grilled up a nice one!

[@mathteacher2651]

Been watching you for years - another great idea - you rock!

[@TheHollarBBQ]

Man I love a good Tri Tip. Really like that grill. Over here on the West coast Tri Tips grow on trees. You can find them in any grocery store. Good job Troy.

[@johnr.5706]

Awesome grill accessory and a fantastic looking tri-tip, Troy!

[@prestonbuffington954]

Your new toy looks awesome, enjoy.

[@ouou-db9pw]

Great job T-Roy

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks very much! I appreciate you watching!

[@RivetGardener]

Beautiful tri-tip and lovely Weber gadget! Awesoome food you made there! Deliciousness at 7:14 and further! Rock On!

[@BigLou956]

Awesome video... Hope to see more cooks on the Santa Maria grill👍👍👍

[@GreyCountyGrillin]

I loved the Santa Maria Grill the first time I saw the BBQ Pit Boys using it. So awesome to see that you got one Troy! And that tritip looked awesome! I need to call my butcher to see if they can get me one. Great video T-roy!

[@Scalia-ig6qz]

Plenty of Red Oak in Texas too! Pappy's seasoning is my Santa Maria go to

[@iansmith6363]

Nice hat, Troy. Beat Navy!... And good cooking here. Might need to get the Santa Maria add on from Gabby's.

[@dougsoderberg]

Thanks for the Heaven Made Products promo code. I ordered a couple and look forward to trying them out!

[@Kentmoney53]

That thing is awesome!! Nice cook Troy

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yes indeed, I'm loving it!!!

[@SuburbanBBQ]

I dig the new grill. Great addition to the kettle. I haven't been a fan of Mesquite since I got sick binging on BBQ chips. That was 40 years ago and I still have flashbacks. LOL

[@fly1327]

T-Roy! A good part of the tenderness is how you slice the meat. Do it against the grain (2 different directions on a tri-tip, so you need to look at the grain change to figure it out) at an angle (I think they call it "on the bias"). Basically shortens the muscle fiber and makes a big difference to the finished result regarding tenderness. Have fun!

[@FortressOfBBQ]

That does it, gotta have one now! Thanks for sharing another great cook.

[@georgeballard6452]

Awesome video T-ROY. might have to git me one them things. tri-tip was on point. looked delicious.

[@alanbailey3787]

Looks mouthwatering.

[@gabbysgrills343]

Awesome Troy. Tri Tip looks perfect. Cool video .

[@PartyUpLive]

Hey just saw your comment. I am liking your Santa maria attachment. i plan on messaging you to through some ideals for mods at you..

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Thanks for another great video.... I placed my order at Gabby’s Grills today. Since I’m in CA, it will arrive tomorrow! I can’t wait to try it out.

[@danmoreno37]

I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA (over the hill from Santa Maria) I have found after decades of grilling hundreds of tri-tips that 45 minutes is the "magic time" for a medium rare roast. I never check my temps but pull them off at 45 minutes. Works 99% of the time!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Dan, thanks for the feedback brother!!! 45 mins was just about right for mine too. I appreciate you watching!

[@I_like_turtles_67]

I've been doing a reverse sear on them lately just to try something new. But I agree 45 mins is about the average time to cook one perfect. I always check mine at 40 mins just incase.

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

Hey brother Troy that tri tip looked great! Love that Santa Maria Grill! Great video!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey brother Rich!!! Yeah man, the Santa Maria grill sure can make some fine tasting BBQ! Hope you and the family are all doing well. I appreciate you stopping by brother!!!

[@ThrashTillDeth83]

Can't go wrong with Weber products brotha...thumbs up!, ...hey that winter beard is looking awesome

[@ToddAndelin]

Nice! Looks fantastic! I'll have to try it with the cayenne!

[@THEREALSHOWBBQ]

Turned out great my friend. Junior is a good guy.

[@luis7429]

Hi T-Roy cooks, if you cook with the flames kissing the meat or if you add wood half way when you cooking, will it give the meat a stronger smoky flavor versus cooking over embers? Thanks

[@RedsBBQandPizzeria]

Love the new intro and music T-ROY, cheers!!!

[@rollingsmokebbqclan7635]

I have one of Juniors Gabby Grills and I love it.

[@theguyshow3392]

T-Roy! Love the Beard Sir! and o yea fabulous cook Sir! You made that look soo easy! Gabys Grill attachment is on my to get list.

[@calzadafamily6204]

Nice to see Tri Tip cooked the Santa Maria way. I prefer Tri Tip over brisket. So much healthier so more tasty. Just the right amount of smoke. Use Susie Q over red oak.

[@BadBeastBarbecue]

That is a real cool looking device, nice add on for the Weber, steak looked good.

[@TROYCOOKS]

I had a blast making this video brother Daryl. Cooking over real wood brings back fond memories and the flavor cannot be beat!!! Hope to see you again soon brother!

[@russells_world]

Cheers Troy ! Great cook 👊🏻

[@eltonsbbq-pit]

This St. Maria attatchment was really interesting! Yessire you really got a good looking tritip off it. I sure hope that the st. Maria will be exported to europe.. Cheers and thanks for another fine video brother. .

[@stevepool8034]

Hey, T-Roy, keep and eye on your aluminum dampers at the bottom of your kettle when using real wood. I have read some folk online say their dampers have warped when burning real wood. Happy cooking.

[@BiggsHomeCookin]

Nice cook... good heat control with the SM grill! Thanks : )

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks brother, it was fun cooking on that SM grill.

[@LouisatRshackBBQ]

That looked like a very juicy Tri tip with a perfect bark.

[@EverydayBBQ]

Man I love that thing! Awesome cook, T Roy!!!

[@michaelmattichiii1595]

Rite on T Roy !! Thanks for sharing.

[@optionsbbq]

Nice video T-Roy, looks great.

[@glenregan9760]

Love the grill, glade you did the video. Thanks!! My minds made up.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Gotta love the flavor of the meat on the Santa Maria grill.

[@NorthTexasBBQAddicts]

you killed it!! great Job Troy!

[@SouthernCoastalCookingTM]

looks good brother, love that incredible rub and you make that tri tip look mighty fine

[@progers5019]

Hey there Troy, as soon as I saw you and James take the Santa Maria grill accessory out of the box, I went to Gabbys Grills and ordered one, along with the steel griddle. I've been waiting to see you use it. The tri-tip looked delicious. That looked so easy to do (at least you made it look easy). Gotta love this accessory. I'll be doing some chicken on it this week. Great video. Thanks-Phil

[@TROYCOOKS]

Glad you got one Phil. I'm gonna be cooking some chicken on it very soon!!! I'm sure you'll love the flavor of the meat cooked on that Santa Maria grill. I'll be checking out your videos cooking on yours!

[@progers5019]

T-ROY COOKS Thanks brother Troy. Have a Goodern

[@cooking1.586]

that looks amazing. good job

[@soxfaninkc33]

Great video as always, T-Roy! The tri-tip looked amazing, and that Santa Maria accessory is sweet!

[@OnTheFritz602]

Curious, the grate looks very stable in the center with the lift risers on each side. How stable is the grate if the meat is moved off-center to the outer sides away from the risers? Hope the question makes sense. Great vid as usual, that meat looked fabulous!

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Ok, I think it's time for another trip to Ol' T-Roys place!

[@TROYCOOKS]

You are always welcome brother James!!! In fact, I have a "thing" going on here March 14th if you are available to join us!!! Text me and I'll fill you in!!!

[@alexgilmore6133]

That looked delicious!!!!!

[@D805YUNGBOSS]

Thats a pretty cool grill you got not exactly Santa Maria Style with out the Oak but looks pretty dam good Im from Santa Maria and we do BBQ thats what we do

[@alestilocatalan5053]

Were you buy the santa maria grill

[@tomevans5458]

T-Roy getting that "Gabby Hayes" look going on!

[@pauldimarco6101]

Love the videos, Troy! Wondering if the Santa Maria Grill can be used on the lower bowl of a 22" Weber Smokey Mountain? Just using the lower bowl for the logs and putting the Santa Maria Grill on top. With the way the lower bowl lip is raised to fit the middle section of the Smokey Mountain, would that interfere with the Santa Maria sitting on it?

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yeah, same size as 22 inch Kettle, so it should work fine on the lower bowl of the 22 WSM. I'll try to shoot a video showing that for ya.

[@pauldimarco6101]

@@TROYCOOKS Thanks!

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Excellent grill set up and one fine cut of steak

[@SimplisticsBBQ]

looks great man. like that setup.

[@GallaghersGrub]

That looked amazing, T-Roy! I never see tri-tip up north here. I think I need to search some out. Great vid.

[@MrPernell27]

I’m from Austin,Tx. Does he have a restaurant? Cause I definitely wanna try it.

[@jowens2706]

Looks amazing 👌

[@headchefmomkendalllawrence693]

That is a beautiful piece of meat! I'm sure this was delicious. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe and video.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Kendall, hope you are doing better my friend! I appreciate you watching!

[@tangojoe9694]

Whoa Troy, when this video started and you were in a coat I thought we were in the middle of an ice age. Stay warm down there man! Just checked out RootBoy's try-tip video and here you are cooking up a mighty fine sink of beef down in the Heart Of Texas. That Santa Maria is very cool, has to be fun to cook on.

[@BarlowBBQ]

Very cool accessory for the kettle! Great job in that Tri-tip!! 👍👍

[@blackdogultra]

Oh nice brother!! Grillin' goucho style. Yeah, we stole some of the nice weather form you guys lol. Its been in the 60's up here the past couple days. Nice enough I was able to uncover the offset and smoke up a couple of St. Louis style ribs. They definitely hit the spot! Nice job buddy and i'll catch you on the next vid.

[@davidsmall6322]

Looks great.

[@tonywilliams4410]

Awesome video as always T-Roy! Gotta get me one of these! I just sent them an email to see if I can go pick one up! Thanks!

[@DaveMurphy58]

Hey Troy, how about a tri tip cook off with you and James , One low and slow and the other one on the Santa Maria grill accessory?

[@Airstream4458]

Oh wow, that looks amazing, Troy !! I've been looking forward to this video ever since I saw you and James unbox that bad boy. The "It's Incredible" has become my favorite go to steak seasoning, I like to hit it with a little more cracked black pepper.....it sure is some mighty fine seasoning !

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yes indeed, that It's Incredible is truly incredible stuff!!!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Lookin Good T-Roy!

[@RaleighSmoke]

Looked great, Troy! Interestingly enough I heard this morning that folks in Houston are using red oak because it’s available. News to me. I though y’all just used post oak or mesquite. Cheers!

[@steakwilliams4448]

Looks great. That grill attachment looks like a ton of fun. What are you gonna do on that next? I've seen chicken legs cooked on them, although I admit, I usually see tri tips on them exclusively

[@bob77346]

Love the videos T-Roy. I live in the Houston area and no one down here sells tritip. I had it out in California when I working there years ago. I've been told it's like a sirloin steak or roast. As to the cooking apperatiss, ever looked into Hasty Bakes made in Tulsa OK? Probably the Rolls Royce in pits, smoke, grill and roast. The fire box moves not the grill and it not a add-on. Keep the vids coming

[@zimmermansworkshop9394]

The cutting board, is that Purple Heart, Walnut and Maple?

[@TROYCOOKS]

I'm pretty sure that's what it is Brian. You have a good eye!!!

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

about how many times have you used the santa maria grill. since you gotten it..?

[@BBQPITDOG]

Hey Troy this is Rob from @BBQPITDOG........Can't wait to try this. I have one on order to be delivered 2/21/2018. Thanks Troy for the lesson!! Great Tri Tip!!

[@jon4589]

Nice video and a good cookup of the tri-tip. That looks good. Next could you show the right way to cut a tri-tip? And I don't mind the windlass squeaking, just save some of the fat cap and rub it in there.

[@thewindowguy1]

hey troy im confused .... u uploaded this video today .... and i live here in ohio... the freezer...its 80 degrees here .... how is it cold in texas ??

[@ulcme6969]

The Sta Maria grill attachment for a 22” Weber kettle grill looks good but pricey ($230). Costco at least in Southern California sells an actual Sta Maria grill for $299 (20”x30”grate)

[@Nclght]

Not sure if that costco SM grill is worth the space it would take up plus you need to add firebricks to it to make it work reasonably well . If you want to get a dedicated SM grill and plan on using it a lot, you will spend at least a grand. More if you want a true Argentinian grill, which an SM grill is based off of. If, however, you want to cook tri tip sm style every so often, an SM attachment will perform sufficently well. I ve cooked on SM grills when I lived in CA but now that I'm back in bbq meca NC, my Gabbys attachment is sufficient for the few times I want an SM style tri tip .

[@mikeamos5260]

LMAO A coat and a toque welcome to Canada T-Roy Cheers

[@TROYCOOKS]

Cheers to ya Mike!!! It was in the 40's here when I filmed this. That's cold down here in Texas! LOL

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Great outcome of the cook. I think i need to try buliding something like this. There is nothing smilar available here :(

[@TROYCOOKS]

The flavor of the meat was amazing!!! I'm sure you could rig up something similar to fit your cooker. Thanks for watching Lasse!!! Cheers brother!

[@leaguecitysmokeshow8088]

Great video Troy! I have a 22” Webber. Where can I get the Santa Maria grill? Thanks again?

[@soniacastro9851]

www.gabbysgrills.com is where you can get this attachment.

[@MrAirtaz]

Beard looks great! That type of grill has alrways made me wonder why it's better than the traditional Weber setup. Doesn't it lose allot of heat and smoke?

[@rflo6658]

Those santa corona grills are nice. Suzy Q's and red oak is the only way my friend.

[@foodguyable]

T-Roy, I saw your video. I grew up in the Santa Maria Valley and have grilled tri-tip more times than I can count. I think you did a great job but I have a couple of "tips" pun intended that I would like to pass on to you and the viewers of your channel. I noticed you stuck the meat thermometer in several times. Every time you pierce that meat you are letting juices escape, for a piece of meat that size (3 lbs.?) it will take at least 45-50 minutes to get to temp. I am not a proponent of flipping the meat over and over again during cooking. This is why the SM style adjustable grill is so perfect. Also, I can't stress enough the importance of two things once your meat is ready. Let that puppy rest at least 15-20 minutes, that way the juices will distribute through the meat, and cut against the grain. There are KZbin videos that show how you do that. Believe me it matters!Now, all you need is some macaroni salad, some pinquinto beans ( only grown in the SM valley) and buttered garlic bread. Salsa is acceptable and encouraged but no self respecting tri tip grill master would ever put steak sauce or BBQ sauce on tri-tip. Top it off with strawberry shortcake and you have the classic SM style tri-tip BBQ dinner. Actually classic Santa Maria style BBQ is cooked with blocks of top sirloin, ooo wee that's good eatin'. Have a great day and keep on grillin'

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Michael, I appreciate the advice brother!!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@MrMegaFredZeppelin]

Hey Troy I'm so glad Tri-Tips are abundant here in California :-) Yours turned out excellent :-) Awesome knives :-) Now I'm hungry,thanks a lot :-) An Extra "BIG" thumbs up :-) Tell Karen we said hello :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!

[@TROYCOOKS]

What's up my brother Fred!!!! We can only get Select grade Tri-tip here right now. I'm wishing I could find some Prime Tri-tip. That Santa Maria grill cooks awesome!!! I love the flavor it imparts into the meat. All my best to you and Joi. Rock On bro!!!

[@fastmoneyflow]

Nice slab of meat. Hey where did you get that checkered cutting board? I'd like one of those.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Jen, thanks for watching. I got the cutting board from Pork Belly Wood Works. I put a link for them in the description box for this video. If you contact Alex on their Facebook page, he will hook you up with a board!

[@rustykc]

Great video as always Troy. I'm curious how a chuck roast would turn out cooked on this..... I guess you'd have to wrap it or put it in a aluminum pan so it wouldn't dry out but I bet the true wood fire would give it an incredible flavor. Sorry, thinking out load haha. Cheers buddy

[@giovannyloza6496]

Hello l need information for Santa Maria grill,l need order one

[@wade6584]

Super cool video. Where did you buy that tri tip? I asked the butcher at HEB to cut me one but it weighed almost 5 lbs. yours looks about half that.

[@TROYCOOKS]

My HEB has them in stock at all times and they are 2-3 lbs. The one I got was right at 3 lbs.

[@terryhatcher6042]

Hey looks good
