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!!!

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.

Purchased last month, assembled two weeks ago, cooked on it last week. Love it! Assembly was simple, but not easy. Good instructions, excellent packaging, high quality parts, all the tools are appreciated. Took me about seven hours to complete (hot sun, wear gloves!), but finished product is beautiful. I've been showing it off to my friends and neighbors.

This grill is amazing… I have been looking at buying a Argentine grill for a long time, but none ticked all the boxes like the backyard discovery Argentine grill. It’s a perfect size, it’s great quality, and comes with everything. I highly recommend this grill.

I bought this a few months ago and used it about 6 times. Besides being very sturdy and with good materials, I have a couple of issues with it. First, the metal bar that goes across the bottom of the grill over the bricks. This is very uncomfortable, being from Argentina I have never seen that before and it’s not great when trying to move hot coals, specially the back part. Another big issue is that when using the fire box, metal seems to expand and the grill gets stuck when moving up and down, even when using the metal bar, which looses a lot of the purpose of a a santa Maria/Argentina grill.

I’ve used the Premium Argentine/Santa Maria BBQ Grill numerous times, and it never ceases to amaze me. This grill is a dream come true for anyone who loves cooking with wood coals. The flavor it imparts to the food is unmatched—rich, smoky, and deeply satisfying, making every meal feel like a gourmet experience. What truly sets this grill apart is its exceptional heat control. The ability to adjust the height of the grate allows for precise cooking, whether you’re searing steaks, slow-roasting vegetables, or grilling delicate fish. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and you can tell it was built with serious grilling enthusiasts in mind. Using this grill has reignited my passion for outdoor cooking. If you’re looking for a premium grilling experience that combines tradition with functionality, this is the one to get. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves wood-fired flavor and precision cooking!

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.

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.

I just purchased this grill, and I will say the quality is absolutely amazing, especially for the price. All materials are top notch. Build instructions are straight forward and fairly easy. It will take 2 people to lift and move the this grill while assembling the cart. All holes lined up perfectly, no issues at all with screws or alignment. I will be doing my first cook on this beast in a few days.

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!
