Great value!!

I’ve been looking for a Santa Maria style grill for a while and there are a ton of options on the market that range from cheap (both in materials used and price) and super expensive. There is a lot of value in this grill for the type of materials used and different components it offers. The fire bricks are not a feature you see on a lot of grills. The quality of materials is evident with the results of the cooks. Very impressed and looking forward to trying a bunch of different types of cooks.

Way Better Than a Gas Grill

Way more fun and flavor cooking over live fire than a gas grill. The grill is solidly built. The fire bricks hold and distribute heat well. It's great for low and slow with the grates raised up, of hot and fast closer to the coals. Best of both worlds.

Outstanding Grill for Wood-Fired Cooking!

I’ve used the Premium Argentine/Santa Maria BBQ Grill numerous times, and it never ceases to amaze me. This grill is a dream come true for anyone who loves cooking with wood coals. The flavor it imparts to the food is unmatched—rich, smoky, and deeply satisfying, making every meal feel like a gourmet experience. What truly sets this grill apart is its exceptional heat control. The ability to adjust the height of the grate allows for precise cooking, whether you’re searing steaks, slow-roasting vegetables, or grilling delicate fish. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and you can tell it was built with serious grilling enthusiasts in mind. Using this grill has reignited my passion for outdoor cooking. If you’re looking for a premium grilling experience that combines tradition with functionality, this is the one to get. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves wood-fired flavor and precision cooking!

Versatile and Great Quality!!

There is a ton of value in the versatility of this grill. It can be used to grill burgers at high heat (and a ton of them with the size of the cooking surface), or cook low and slow with the grate raised up for results that are better than traditional smoking. The heat retention in the fire bricks is noticeable for long cooks. And the quality of the materials is on par with more expensive grills. Great value and a ton of fun to use!

Excellent, quality grill

The Argentine grill is a quality design, heavy duty, easy build. With a few extra minutes to build a fire, you can have a delicious open fire meal that can't be duplicated. Holds enough food for group meals too. Cast iron pans on grates, no problem. Already got rid of all other grills. This is the way and nobody can touch the price and value, especially if on sale. Best value out there. Go for it.

Best Grill!

I've cooked on gas rills, kamado grills, and kettle grills and this is easily the most fun and The best interactive grilling/cooking style that I have found. Whether it's just family or entertaining a large group, the food comes out great and the grill becomes a part of the experience for everyone. The quality of the materials is very evident, and it looks great too! I have gotten a ton of compliments on the grill and the food that it turns out.

The Santa Maria Grill, what a pleasant surprise!!!

I was initially skeptical about purchasing the Santa Maria grill, but after setting it up and using it, I’m thoroughly impressed. The assembly was straightforward, and the build quality exceeded my expectations—it feels sturdy and durable. The grill itself cooks beautifully. The adjustable height of the grate allows for precise heat control, which makes managing the cooking process a breeze. Whether I’m grilling steaks, veggies, or even seafood, the results have been fantastic every time. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the performance of this grill. It’s easy to use, efficient, and has quickly become my go-to cooking tool. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend giving it a try!

Sweet Grill! Great New Toy!

This grill is a ton of fun to use. It’s solidly built and retains heat very well for an open fire style cooking. It looks great too. I’m looking forward to experimenting with different styles of cooking due to its versatility. I’d highly recommend giving this grill and this cooking experience a try.

Love this grill!

This is a super versatile grill, with tons of cooking space that allows for feeding a big group of people, or just having some interactive cooking with the family. We’ve done everything from burgers to slow cooking with the grates raised. Super impressed with the quality, and it’s a ton of fun to use.
