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!

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.

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.

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.

Cooking

Love the way the food tastes when using a wood fire, still learning how much fire is required for cooking on it. But I love it, it was just what I was looking for

Great open fire grill!

I have cooked on this Santa Maria Grill a few times, Tri tip, pork belly, ribs and corn. Going to use it for my Camp Dutch oven this weekend. It is awesome.

Beautiful Beast

I Love Love Love this grill. I always wanted a Santa Maria grill but I didn’t want the boring black metal box look. This is a beautiful addition to the patio and I am very impressed with the quality of the heavy duty construction.

Versatile & the right size

I got this as a birthday present. Been toying around about getting a proper "parrilla" so my wife got this one for my birthday. Loved it. And I am from Argentina.

Mislabeled parts

None of the part numbers on the packages match the labels on the application. It would seem the application or the labels need updating. I would love to verify all parts are present and accounted for, but I can’t with mislabeled parts.

Nice unit looks good to

Went together easily all parts were aligned perfectly. Tools used were 9/16,7/16 end wrenches,torque bit for all screws and a Phillips screwdriver. Hard to believe after look at instructions showing tools needed. The unit impressed .
