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.

Excellent craftsmanship

I received this about a month ago and love it. It’s so sturdy and versatile. I’m impressed with how easy (take your time) it was to assemble and how robust it is. I would like a firebox tutorial. Additionally, the grill was delayed a few weeks. No big deal as they were very quick and clear on it. But even better, the CEO sent a set of utensils as a mea culpa for the delay. Above and beyond!

Solidly built, works as expected

I pre-ordered this well over a month ago it was a long wait took about 10 days for the shipper to get it to my house from the middle of the country. Once it got here I moved it to where I was going to assemble it and it promptly rained for 2 days. Once I put it together (which was extremely easy and straightforward using the built app) it rained for another 3 days so all I could do was season it and I couldn't cook on it. However the sun did come out and when it did I put sirloin cap on there Hung myself a pineapple and started cooking. I'd love to tell you everything came out great but I don't know I'm still in mid cook and having a blast with my new grill. I love the brasaro I can see how it will be needed for longer cooks. The adjustable height of the grill is awesome and completes the package. This product is extremely well-built and when they say it weighs 375 lb they're not kidding this thing is a beast. Can't wait to keep cooking on it and to polish my live fire skills

Best grill ever

This is the best grill you will ever buy and won’t regret trust me on this. The quality of the grill is so heavy duty. The grill comes with an all season cover not sure why it is not in the description. The assembly was really easy you just have to organized and open the screws as you go. Everything is labeled and separated nicely. Overall I recommend this 100

Could not be happier!

I'm still in shock that I get to own a Santa Maria type grill. I've wanted one for years, but the pricing was just out of control. I was worried that I was going to "get what I paid for" here and have a bbq that might not last that long, but I was pleasantly surprised that this thing is a beast! Incredibly heavy and well built! Took some time to build but was very straight forward and quite easy. Cooking over live fire is a craft that I'm still working on but there is no going back for me! Thank you for making these accessable and making a great BBQ!

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!!!

Good quality

Explanation of putting it together was great.. pieces all went together. Only thing is when the grill goes down, it gets stuck on one side. Which I have to push down on the grill to go down. The other thing was the little screw were really hard to screw in. Other than that I’m very happy with it.

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

amazing value.

I assembled my grill about two weeks ago. The assembly took several hours, but was very easy with the BILT app. I am truly amazed at the quality of the grill for the price. This grill is a great value. I have used it twice, and it has worked flawlessly.
