Authentic Stainless Santa Maria Style Grill
True to the tradition of California’s Central Coast, our grills are engineered by Santa Maria natives with both functionality and longevity in mind. Each unit features:
-
A 1/4″ thick firebrick-lined firebox with fully folded support lips for longevity and warp resistance.
-
304 grade stainless steel construction for superior rust resistance.

Compatibility with both wood and charcoal fuels.
Why 304 Stainless Steel Matters
We choose 304 stainless steel because it’s built to last a lifetime. Naturally rust-resistant, it’s an ideal material for coastal or wet climates. Paired with our TIG-welded assembly and laser-cut stainless components, your grill maintains purity and strength—ensuring it stays rust-free for years to come.

Important Care Information for Stainless Products:
- Clean your stainless grill grate with ONLY stainless grill brushes or pumice grill stones. (Use of steel cleaning products will cause rust on your stainless grill).
