A True Live-Fire Cooking Experience🔥🔥🔥

I've cooked on a lot of equipment throughout my career, and I can honestly say the Argentine Santa Maria XL has been a pleasure to cook on. The fire control is intuitive, the build feels solid, and it delivers the kind of live-fire experience I was looking for. I've already put it to work cooking for family and friends, and it's quickly become the centerpiece of my backyard. It gets people talking before the food even hits the grill. If you're passionate about cooking over wood fire and love bringing people together around great food, this grill is absolutely worth it. Chef Jerome Grant

This XL Argentine Santa Maria grill is an absolute game-changer! From the moment I fired it up, I knew I'd made the right choice. The craftsmanship is incredible, super sturdy, and it holds heat like a dream. Every steak, every chicken, every veggie comes off with that perfect smoky flavor and sear. It's truly a 5-star experience for anyone serious about grilling!

Taking Open Fire Cooking To Next Level

I purchased the Premium Argentine/Santa Maria BBQ Grill after completing a 7-Day Open Fire Cooking Challenge. During that challenge, I quickly discovered that my existing grill was not designed to handle burning wood as a primary cooking fuel. It worked fine for charcoal, but once I started exploring open-fire cooking, I needed something built for both wood and charcoal. After researching different options, I decided on the BackYard Discovery Premium Argentine/Santa Maria Grill, and so far, it has been exactly what I was looking for. The adjustable grill grate makes it easy to control cooking temperatures, whether I'm using hardwood logs or charcoal. The ability to raise and lower the cooking surface is a game changer when cooking over live fire. As a prepper, versatility is important to me. I wanted a grill that could function whether I had charcoal available or needed to cook with wood during emergency or do water bath canning. This grill gives me that flexibility while also producing excellent flavor that you simply can't get from a standard gas grill. The construction feels solid and designed for the type of high-heat cooking that comes with burning wood. Unlike my previous grill, I'm not worried about damaging it during long cooks over a wood fire. If you're interested in open-fire cooking, backyard BBQ, homesteading, or preparedness, I think this style of grill is worth considering. It bridges the gap between traditional grilling and true live-fire cooking. I also shared my full thoughts and experience with this grill on my YouTube channel, Boujé Prepper, where I did an update video of why we upgraded to this grill, and how it fits into my preparedness and outdoor cooking goals. If you're serious about live-fire cooking and want the flexibility to cook with either wood or charcoal, the Premium Argentine/Santa Maria BBQ Grill is a worthwhile investment.
