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!

Hot Coals & Mighty Fine

My anticipation for the Argentine/Santa Maria Grill was inspired by Francis Mallmann. The order was placed with Great Joy & before my eyes the assembly was taking place. Great direction- by the way. We had the delight of cooking Christmas dinner with the whole family.The fire was started as the coals began their story of giving off heat. We had pineapple hanging, two guinea hens on those fantastic stainless steel hooks,mushrooms & lemon halves. The steaks were placed on the grill last as the grill was lowered just above the coals. There was room for sausage for appetizer as the grill space acomodates plenty of cooking surface. Everybody loved to crank the big wheel while the sound repeats it's progress. This method of Argentine open fire cooking has made my wife like steak off the grill again. Everything about the Argentine /Santa Maria grill is Tremendous, fire bricks,latches on the door ,grates of heavy cast iron, It's the BEST. Cheers to Backyard. We even bought the Granda Grill Gazebo.

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 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.

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.

Santa Maria grill - great choice!

I recently purchased the Santa Maria grill, and after roughly two months of use, I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations in every way. This grill is a fantastic addition to my outdoor cooking setup. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by the sturdy construction and sleek design. Assembly was straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions provided. Once set up, I was eager to test its performance, and it did not disappoint. Once it gets going, the Santa Maria grill maintains an even temperature, making it perfect for grilling everything from burgers and steaks to vegetables and fish. The cooking surface is spacious, allowing me to prepare meals for family gatherings effortlessly. The grates are easy to clean, which adds to the overall convenience. One of my favorite features is the height adjustment, which has made cooking even more enjoyable. Whether I'm grilling for a small family dinner or a larger get-together, this grill handles it all with ease. Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase. The Santa Maria grill has transformed my outdoor cooking experience, and I look forward to many more delicious meals ahead. If you're in the market for a reliable and efficient grill, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

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.
