Amazing!!!

This grill is amazing… I have been looking at buying a Argentine grill for a long time, but none ticked all the boxes like the backyard discovery Argentine grill. It’s a perfect size, it’s great quality, and comes with everything. I highly recommend this grill.

GRILLING AT IT'S BEST

I was a bit concerned to purchase because I was not able to see actual grill. Arrived as scheduled and on pallet. The material is very sturdy and secure. It did take some time to assemble but instructions are clear. Huge grill. Cooking area is big and comfortable to work on. All the added extras for hanging sausage and meats is a plus. Planning family gathering to enjoy a complete Argentine Parillada like back home.

Solid Built. Top Quality!

This Argentinian Grill is solid! Well-built with top quality material. For this price range—the quality is amazing. This grill is heavy, solid, and perfectly fitted together—every hole, every connection was perfectly aligned for assembly. The instructions for assembly, especially using the BILT app, were complete and detailed. Assembly time suggested 2hrs to complete—maybe with two people, by myself it took closer to four hours. I have a 4-burnner Weber gas grill, a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, and an outdoor pizza oven—so this Argentinian Grill completed our outdoor cooking/grilling needs. This is built to last and comes with a cover. I assembled in my garage and moved to my patio area (waited to install fire bricks; brasero; and top assembly due to the weight—since had to roll over grass). Side table is legit—heavy, thick. The coal shovel is extremely useful to shovel coals under brasero to main grill area. Seems they added a removable bottom rail that sits on top of the fire bricks—but this is fine since grilling Argentinian style demands that the coals be spread out and not directly under the meat (though fine if you want to put coals on top of the rail). If you have doubts due to the low price—since it is a few thousand less than most Argentinian Grills on the market-- I would say don’t hesitate to buy this, it is a great value! Be sure to look up some videos on Argentinian grilling as the slow cook style is different from the way you are probably used to grilling. Low heat and slow grilling locks in the flavor and juices. While it is heavy, 350 lbs., it roles easily over pavers or patio concrete. I would suggest also purchasing a Pizza Oven Brush and an Ash Rake (already had for my outdoor pizza oven) for moving coals and to help with clean up.

Very, very, VERY high quality grill

I had high expectations for this grill, however considering the price I would expect that it would be a mid-tier quality. I was wrong, I am very surprised with the quality level, the attention to detail and how sturdy the construction is. While assembling I started to realize how much time the engineers put into thinking this thing through. I definitely recommend it!

Top of the line grill! Fantastic price!!!

I have numerous grills in my portfolio. Always wanted one of these. Now I have it!!! Great quality, very heavy duty. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some of the other manufacturers, but way more than I expected for the price!!! Absolutely love it!!!

Top Notch BBQ

The build quality of the grill is exceptional. It is made of high-quality materials that feel sturdy and durable. The grill grate is made of heavy-duty stainless steel, which provides even heat distribution but also makes it easy to clean after use. Fun to use, looks great and feels like it will last a lifetime!

Exceptional Quality and Performance

I recently purchased a Premium Argentine/Santa Maria BBQ Grill, and I have to say, I’m extremely impressed with its quality and craftsmanship. Right out of the box, it's clear that this grill is built to last. The materials used are top-notch, and the finish is absolutely immaculate — every detail is well thought out, giving it a premium, sturdy feel. Mounting it was straightforward, though it did take me about 2 hours. The instructions were clear, and with some patience, I got everything set up without too much trouble. The design of the grill is well-organized, with everything fitting into place securely. Once assembled, I couldn't wait to fire it up. The cooking experience is exceptional. It retains heat beautifully and cooks evenly, delivering that authentic Argentine BBQ flavor. The adjustable height for the grill grate is a great feature for controlling the temperature, and the overall performance has been nothing short of fantastic. I’m absolutely loving it so far. If you’re looking for a premium, high-quality BBQ grill that not only performs well but also looks amazing in your backyard, this is definitely worth the investment. Highly recommend!

Argentine grill

The build quality is very good and the assembly was straight forward. Engineering quality is excellent ,all bolts and screws fit perfectly. Had my first cook and it came out really good. Having never grilled on one of these types of grill it will have a learning curve with fire management. The season just started so the fun begins

Works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill exceeded all my expectations. It’s a true game-changer for anyone who loves outdoor/open fire cooking. The adjustable height of the grill grate allows for flexibility with heat control, giving flexibility for a ton of different types of cooks. We’ve used lump charcoal and natural wood and both have turned out great.

Long awaited!!! I love it.

Ok. So I bought this grill in November 24’ because I am building a pool and outdoor kitchen. They just now reached the kitchen and this morning 5/28 I put the grill together out the box. First it is a VERY heavy box. You will need help and a dolly. I started building the grill at 5:30am and I finished at 11:45am. I was alone and it could have just been me. But put things together pretty regularly. There are a lot of pieces. They are marked clearly and are easily identified. But you have to search for them and some look alike but they are all numbered in bags. It is beautiful. I am in love with this grill. I have not cooked anything on it yet. But I can’t wait. All the materials are high quality. The BILT app was so helpful and I was able to flip the design and zoom in and out to make sure I was doing the right stuff. I recommend this purchase but get help if you can and know it will take some time but it’s worth it.
