Lots of Grilling in my future!!!

In terms of performance, the grill delivers outstanding results. Open fire cooking provides a subtle smoky flavor to the food. The design creates great airflow so the fire burns clean. You don’t get a heavy smoke flavor. The grill also retains heat exceptionally well, allowing for longer/consistent cooking temperatures.

Blown Away by this Grill!

I took a bit of a risk buying this grill on preorder and man am I glad I did! I have been searching for an Argentine/S.M. style grill for awhile and this offering came along and the specs seemed perfect. I am so impressed with the quality and crafstmanship of this grill. Everything is well made and works beautifully. Spent fathers day with a cooler of beer having a remarkable grilling experience. Get a nice bed of embers and a few different cuts and enjoy!

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

Versatile and Great Quality!!

There is a ton of value in the versatility of this grill. It can be used to grill burgers at high heat (and a ton of them with the size of the cooking surface), or cook low and slow with the grate raised up for results that are better than traditional smoking. The heat retention in the fire bricks is noticeable for long cooks. And the quality of the materials is on par with more expensive grills. Great value and a ton of fun to use!

Great value!!

I’ve been looking for a Santa Maria style grill for a while and there are a ton of options on the market that range from cheap (both in materials used and price) and super expensive. There is a lot of value in this grill for the type of materials used and different components it offers. The fire bricks are not a feature you see on a lot of grills. The quality of materials is evident with the results of the cooks. Very impressed and looking forward to trying a bunch of different types of cooks.

Excellent Grilling Machine!

Great value and super easy to put together. Had it done in like an hour, by myself (suggest saw horses). Works great, super sturdy, and the meat that comes off of it is insane. Highly suggest youtube santa maria basics for anyone that doesnt have this kind of grilling experience. Flame is NOT your friend on this style. Amber charcoal is. Super fun to cook and and really have enjoyed it!

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.

Way Better Than a Gas Grill

Way more fun and flavor cooking over live fire than a gas grill. The grill is solidly built. The fire bricks hold and distribute heat well. It's great for low and slow with the grates raised up, of hot and fast closer to the coals. Best of both worlds.

Awesome product — No regrets

I have wanted an Argentine grill for about a year now after my uncle did a cook for my family on his. So when I saw this the price and size seemed right and I pre-ordered. Glad I did. Assembly was a two person job but relatively smooth 2 hour process. I have done two cooks on it. First one was just simple steaks to thank my friend for helping. The second was a bit more elaborate and I used the grill to its full potential with an initial smoke of the meat. Food turned out awesome. Everything on the grill works and is super high quality. Feels like a very good value at its price.

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.
