That seems like it would work out well. I would like to try the hickory chips too, hadn't thought of that. Since I'm from Santa Maria I'm used to using red oak, which probably isn't available everywhere, so hickory chips sounds like a good choice. To respond to a previous comment, SusieQ's has a good rub, and they're available online at: http://www.susieqbrand.com/ and they also have a produce with no MSG - my favorite! Happy BBQing!

As for ordering food online - not really a big fan of this. Only company I've actually had experience with in this area is Omaha Steaks (http://www.omahasteaks.com) and I wasn't really impressed with the taste vs. expense. For my money, fresh and local is the way to go. Best advice I can give is find a butcher shop, I use Hottinger Family Meats (http://web1.ls.sp1.yahoo.com/details?id=20722361) and really enjoy the quality and control I have over what cuts to get. That being said, Harris Ranch meat is pretty good, I know Stater Brother's carries that brand of meat so that's been my experience with them, and I do enjoy their meat. They also have an online store at (http://www.harrisranch.com) and it looks like you can get (2) 2.0 to 2.5 lb. Pre- marinated Santa Maria Tri-tips for $59 in their roasts section. Let me know how it goes! Ok, finally getting back to the blog… sorry about the big delay!

Maybe you can help me out with something…? I want to order all of my food online from now on because of various reasons, but I don’t know where to go for quality food. I have tried 2 companies so far, Fresh Dining, and and <a href="http://www.celebrityfoods.com" rel="nofollow">Celebrity Foods</a>, but I wanna get others I can try out. Do you know of any? The main thing I’ve ordered so far is steak. I guess you can say, I’m a steak junkie. LOL!!! From what I have found out (from what I have ordered so far) I think I am able to regulate the quality of beef I buy. I hate going to a store and getting that crappy slab of beef that I have to cut down until there is like nothing left. Hahaha!!!! (its so true though) Anyhow, sorry that I made this comment so long. If you can help me out or point me in a direction where I might find more quality foods online, I would greatly appreciate it. Have a good day or night! (depending on when you read this) LOL!!!! I love tri tip steak!
