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.

Build strong, nice features, but some issues.

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.

Love this grill!

This is a super versatile grill, with tons of cooking space that allows for feeding a big group of people, or just having some interactive cooking with the family. We’ve done everything from burgers to slow cooking with the grates raised. Super impressed with the quality, and it’s a ton of fun to use.

Sweet Grill! Great New Toy!

This grill is a ton of fun to use. It’s solidly built and retains heat very well for an open fire style cooking. It looks great too. I’m looking forward to experimenting with different styles of cooking due to its versatility. I’d highly recommend giving this grill and this cooking experience a try.

Excellent craftsmanship

I received this about a month ago and love it. It’s so sturdy and versatile. I’m impressed with how easy (take your time) it was to assemble and how robust it is. I would like a firebox tutorial. Additionally, the grill was delayed a few weeks. No big deal as they were very quick and clear on it. But even better, the CEO sent a set of utensils as a mea culpa for the delay. Above and beyond!

Great looking grill / great assembly instruction

I purchased the Grill a month ago. Shipping took longer than stated but still not a bad experience. Impressed with the heavy duty steel and overall quality of the grill. Many parts but excellent easy follow assembly instructions only 3 minor part problems that any DIY person can correct if it occurs ( bad threading and 1 missing spring) cooked on it only 1 time so far but LOVED how it performed!!!

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.

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.

Works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill exceeded all my expectations. It’s a true game-changer for anyone who loves outdoor/open fire cooking. The adjustable height of the grill grate allows for flexibility with heat control, giving flexibility for a ton of different types of cooks. We’ve used lump charcoal and natural wood and both have turned out great.

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!
