Drop In with Firebox
This style is designed primarily for hollow islands. Includes a self-contained firebox that drops into a counter similar to a sink, supported by 1.5″ lips on all sides. A fire may be lit directly on the bottom of the firebox, or on a charcoal grate. Comes in dual and single crank configurations, steel and stainless materials, and Santa Maria or Argentine styles.
Benefits:
- Firebirck lined, heat resistant firebox.
- Decreased brick cost for brick islands
- Easy installation for brick or hollow wall islands.
Drop In Frame
This style is designed for islands constructed of solid brick. A drop in frame has 2.5″ lips on all sides to insert in a counter opening. It does not have a metal firebox, rather the fire is built on an existing firebrick base. Frames come in dual and single crank configurations, in steel or stainless materials, and in Santa Maria or Argentine styles.
Benefits:
- Long lasting
- Lighter than a full firebox
- easy installtion for brick islands
DROP IN GRILLS FAQ
JD Fabrications offers two material options, steel and stainless. Steel is painted black with a high temperature grill paint, while stainless material has properties making it naturally rust resistant. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you make the best decision for your needs: What
Both Santa Maria and Argentine grills use wood or charcoal as the fuel source. They both feature a deep, four sided firepit, and cooking grates that can be raised or lowered by turning a side crank wheel. Both are equipped with firebrick lined bottom hearth (besides frame styles which don’t come with a self-contained firebox). JD Fabrications Santa Maria and Argentine grills are built with commercial grade construction, dual or single crank options, your choice of cooking grate style, and a height adjustable rotisserie option.
Argentine Gaucho grills include some extra features. An upper rod rack for warming or resting food, Architectural vertical guides for luxury aesthetic, a fully firebrick lined box including the side walls for added heat retention, and full upper tube construction
Santa Maria and Argentine style grill inserts are designed to drop into a rectangular counter opening and rest on the counter by their four flanges. No bolting, gluing, or caulking required. The lips cover most opening imperfections for a clean finish.
After the ash has cooled, raise up the grate and use a flathead hand scoop to empty the ash. While warm, grates can be brushed with a bristle brush, pumice stone, or wood scraper. And don’t dump the ash in your trashcan just yet! Did you know ash is high in calcium, magnesium, potassium and other important nutrients, and your tomatoes and some other flowering plants thrive when it’s lightly sprinkled around their roots.
