i bought my grill a couple weeks ago and my first cook was fresh Alaskan salmon absolutely awesome. little smoke flavor with salmon made it great. 2nd cook i cooked t-bone steaks therer were awesome also. there is a little learning curve but in no time you'll figure it out. christmas dinner were cooking 12 ribeyes, can't wait. fred

Y’all! This grill is awesome!! It came with a super nice cover and assembled easy! I do wish it had a place to hang grill tools as you grill. But I don’t use the cooking hooks so we hang tools like the tongs and basting brush on those. The grill is heavy but they have super nice locking wheels which make moving around easy and then lock it so it stays.

The Santa Maria Grill has quickly become my favorite way to cook outdoors. The heavy-duty build and smooth crank system make raising and lowering the grill grate effortless, giving me full control over heat for perfect steaks, tri-tips, and even veggies. The flavor you get from live fire cooking on this setup is unbeatable — it feels like bringing an authentic Santa Maria experience right to the backyard. It’s solid, well-designed, and built to last. If you’re serious about grilling over open flame, this grill is an absolute must-have.

It is well built with the following exceptions. 1. The fire box has warped out in the back from the heat in the box. 2. There is a stainless steel horz. center brace to keep the 2 columns in place. This is not shown shown in the pictures, but is necessary for proper alignment. This brace makes distributing the coals more difficult and makes cleaning a chore. On the plus side it offers good bang for the buck and is well made with note to the above issues.

I own a Webber and a Green Egg, but I've always wanted to grill Argentinian style, but every time I looked at a Argentine Santa Maria Grill, they were way too expensive, up in the 5 to 7K. So when I found this one, I decided to give it a try. First of all, the assembly was so simple. The instructions were visual and well defined, every bold had a number and what was best, it had extra bolt, just in case I lost one. Another great detail, I don't particularly like the Argentinian V shape of the grille rods. I don't mind the juices of what I am cooking falling in the ambers and giving more flavor. But this grill has them out of cast iron, so the produce beautiful sear marks. I've already cooked some ribs and chickens and loved the absolute control of temperature and ambers. The only thing I wish, is that they also sold other accessories, like an angular griddle perfect for a cabrito or basio, or a rotisserie spinner, or a flat griddle for vegetables. Still, this grill turns a piece of cooking equipment into an entertainment center. A mate drink not included.

Great looking coop. The yard/run is larger than most. The rubber mats are a great idea. It makes cleaning the coop very easy.

These chickens are living their best life in this penthouse chicken coop. The multilayered layout is an efficient use of space, and the tall house is impressive. The nesting box roof has a convenient hook for collecting eggs.

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!

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!

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.
