And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Smoked this tri tip this afternoon on the Recteq. Feast later this evening.
Funny, its hard to get tritip outside of California. We had an IGA up here in Northern Wisconsin that had tritip. But it closed and no one else sells that cut here. When I lived in Grass Valley every store had it.
The tritip cut was first introduced by local butchers at the Elk's rodeo in Santa Maria, CA.
While Santa Maria is in Santa Barbara County, the place has a closer affinity to the county immediately to the north which is San Luis Obispo. SLO CO is a 'cow county' since just before CA became a state. We know beef.
I could do with some of that but it's way too hot to do anything outside.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteA little over done. No juice , probably didn't let it rest before cutting. Looks good though.

ReplyDeleteThere is no problem getting tritip at a Publix here in the south east.
DeleteI used a Recteq at a cabin I rented. When my gas grill dies I am going to get the 410 model.

Looks perfect to me.
DeleteThere's always got to be a complainer in the crowd.
Usually a useless blob on the couch.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
ReplyDeleteI can get them here in NJ but I have to get the butcher to order a box full. They go quickly but they don’t order them again. Go figure.

Anyone else here have a “Fred” a marinated black tritip sold by a butcher in Palo Alto? The one I had was fantastic.
