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!

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

The Santa Maria Grill, what a pleasant surprise!!!

I was initially skeptical about purchasing the Santa Maria grill, but after setting it up and using it, I’m thoroughly impressed. The assembly was straightforward, and the build quality exceeded my expectations—it feels sturdy and durable. The grill itself cooks beautifully. The adjustable height of the grate allows for precise heat control, which makes managing the cooking process a breeze. Whether I’m grilling steaks, veggies, or even seafood, the results have been fantastic every time. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the performance of this grill. It’s easy to use, efficient, and has quickly become my go-to cooking tool. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend giving it a try!

Top of the line grill! Fantastic price!!!

I have numerous grills in my portfolio. Always wanted one of these. Now I have it!!! Great quality, very heavy duty. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some of the other manufacturers, but way more than I expected for the price!!! Absolutely love it!!!

Very sturdy and well made!

Doing the initial burns in the phone. My first use was with all the neighbors cooking up some Argentinian style skirt steak and Korean short ribs. It is extremely easy it control the heat with the adjustable height cook grates.

Solid grill

Bought this a few weeks ago. Very sturdy and seems well constructed. Great for a day of Argentine asado. Mechanism of the wheel and grate seems promising and made of stainless. Made some great sausages and picana.

Great value gaucho grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve cooked twice in this now and really love it. Higher quality than I expected. Instructions for assembly were very well done.

Great Features … Outstanding Value!!!

This year’s Mother’s Day we celebrated Argentine adobo style and while the moms were the center of affection, our new Backyard Discovery grill was the center of attraction! It made our special day more so!

Argentinian thumbs up

I bought this grill 1 month ago. I’m from Argentina and was looking for about a year for a grill like this. It’s outstanding. Quality is much better than I expected. Highly recommend for people looking to do Bbqs differently.
