We don’t like the idea of flimsy, disposable BBQ grills that big box stores offer. Because our grills are made with quality materials, they’ll cost you a lot less in the long run. Our grills are backed by a small business that’s dedicated to providing the best possible customer service, we are always here to help.

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE ROTISSERIE

Grills are now compatible with our cutting-edge height adjustable rotisserie. You have the option to include the rotisserie components. Chunks of steak can be skewered and turned over open wood fired flame to get the same flavors which started the beloved Gaucho grill tradition. An 85 lbs capacity electric motor turns the spit. As it turns the fats roll around the meat, basting it as it turns.

The meats that come off a rotisserie are tender all the way through. We offer a Pro-former basket and heavy-duty forks to secure any shape. Fish, whole birds, pork, you name it. The motor slides on and off a bracket on the grate frame, no bolts or tools needed.

Drop in styles are designed as inserts for your outdoor kitchen island. We have two types of drop in styles, Firebox and Frame.

  • A Drop In Firebox comes with a completely welded box that drops into an existing countertop opening like a sink.
  • A Drop In Frame comes without a metal firebox. The frame rests on the counter over a rectangular opening made of firebrick.

What is the difference between a single and dual crank grill?

  • A Single Crank Grill has one, height adjustable cooking surface controlled by a single hand wheel.
  • A Dual Crank Grill has two, independently adjustable cooking surfaces with hand wheels on each side of the unit.

NOTE: When incorporating a height adjustable rotisserie on a dual crank unit, the rotisserie will function on the larger of the two grate sections.

What is the difference between steel and stainless?

We offer two material options:
  • Steel Grills are the most affordable option, while stainless grills are a more expensive investment. Steel grills are most suitable for dry environments but can do well in other environments with a little extra care. Steel grills are coated with high temperature paint, rated to withstand temperatures of 1200 degrees F, and 2000 degrees F intermittent. We include an aerosol of matching touch up paint with each purchase.
  • Stainless Grills are suitable for any environment from dry to coastal or tropical. They require very little care and last longer. Stainless grills come with a larger price tag as the material is much more expensive and they take longer to produce. Most people consider our stainless grills to be the last they’ll ever buy.

How do I care for my grill?

Keeping your grill dry and scooping out ash after use are the best things you can do to aid in longevity. Grates should be brushed off after use and seasoned with oil.

What are the similarities between Santa Maria Grills and Argentine Grills?

Both our Santa Maria and Argentine grill lines have adjustable cooking grates, four sided fireboxes, and your choice of drop in or portable configuration, your choice of cooking grate and optional rotisserie.

What are the main differences between a Santa Maria Grill and an Argentine Grill?

Our Santa Maria Grills feature a deep firebox with brick lined bottom, while our Argentine Grills feature a fully brick lined firebox (4 walls and bottom) as well as an upper warming/resting rack.
