Bring authentic Santa Maria–style barbecue to your backyard or commercial kitchen with the Sunterra Santa Maria 30″ Cart Grill (Model 3601-30SSICRT). Built with heavy-gauge 3/16″ steel and fire brick lining, this grill is engineered for unmatched durability, heat retention, and superior cooking performance.

The signature flywheel system with a 1,000 lb. stainless steel aircraft cable lets you raise and lower the V-channel cooking grates with ease, giving you total control over heat levels and flame intensity. The sloped V-channel grates capture juices and fats, reducing flare-ups while enhancing flavor.

Perfect for wood or lump charcoal cooking, this professional-grade cart grill includes removable shelves, drip tray, and heavy-duty casters for mobility. Finished with a three-step, 1200° heat-resistant coating, the Sunterra Santa Maria is built to last while delivering authentic open-fire grilling.
