Handcrafted from heavy-duty 3/16″ steel and firebrick-lined for superior heat retention, this commercial-grade Santa Maria-style grill is built for both professional kitchens and serious backyard pitmasters.

The iconic flywheel system allows smooth, precise adjustment of the heavy-duty V-channel cooking grates, designed to capture juices and reduce flare-ups while delivering authentic wood-fired flavor. The durable construction and 1200° high-heat finish ensure long-lasting performance, while the firebrick lining distributes heat evenly for consistent results.
