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

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

Great looking grill / great assembly instruction

I purchased the Grill a month ago. Shipping took longer than stated but still not a bad experience. Impressed with the heavy duty steel and overall quality of the grill. Many parts but excellent easy follow assembly instructions only 3 minor part problems that any DIY person can correct if it occurs ( bad threading and 1 missing spring) cooked on it only 1 time so far but LOVED how it performed!!!

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.

Top quality, beautifully designed

I’m really impressed by the quality of this grill. It’s solid and all the features (raising/lowering grate, front door to firebox, even the locks on the casters are well designed and robustly built. I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a great value for the price. I had a task rabbit guy assemble it because it was too heavy and difficult for me (I have one arm) it took him three hours. I checked out the online guide and it seemed well thought out and not difficult to follow. I’m enjoying cooking on it.

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.

Fire fun!

as soon as my grandkids and got it together, they built a fire and grilled fresh trout on it . we love it. its so nice being able to control the heat by how much coals you put under it and easily raise and lower the grill, all the holes fit perfectly and there were plenty of extra bolts, etc. top qulity - you get what you pay for!

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.

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!

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
