Excellent, quality grill

The Argentine grill is a quality design, heavy duty, easy build. With a few extra minutes to build a fire, you can have a delicious open fire meal that can't be duplicated. Holds enough food for group meals too. Cast iron pans on grates, no problem. Already got rid of all other grills. This is the way and nobody can touch the price and value, especially if on sale. Best value out there. Go for it.

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!

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!

Best Grill!

I've cooked on gas rills, kamado grills, and kettle grills and this is easily the most fun and The best interactive grilling/cooking style that I have found. Whether it's just family or entertaining a large group, the food comes out great and the grill becomes a part of the experience for everyone. The quality of the materials is very evident, and it looks great too! I have gotten a ton of compliments on the grill and the food that it turns out.

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.

Great open fire grill!

I have cooked on this Santa Maria Grill a few times, Tri tip, pork belly, ribs and corn. Going to use it for my Camp Dutch oven this weekend. It is awesome.

Great grill. Really well made.

Really well built grill. Took a little while to assemble, but it was a very hot day so I took extra breaks. You definitly need two people to assemble. Can't wait to use it. Definitly happy with my purchase.

Great for entertaining

I have this next to my pool, it is amazing, such a large surface, I get compliments all the time. The movable grill allows great temperature control could use some improvements on the mechanism where the wires attach to the grate to move up and down
