How did the Santa Maria way of barbecuing start? Mid-19th century the local ranchers in Santa Maria, California hosted huge Spanish-styled feasts for vaqueros (cowboys). This created a whole tradition of Santa Maria Barbecuing over wood fires (typically red oak).  Soon the Santa Maria community started hosting monthly barbecue gatherings. 

The tri-tip which is a favorite piece of beef for barbecuing on the Santa Maria Grill, originated in Santa Maria, California. What is tri tip? The tri-tip is a triangular cut of beef from the bottom sirloin. The tri-tip was popularized through Santa Maria Barbecue culture.

Having a Santa Maria Grill helps in recreating the traditional Santa Maria-style barbecues.
