Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Argentine/Santa Maria 24-in W Black Santa Maria Charcoal Grill

Love it!

Love my new grill! The only thing I would change is the bar that runs accross the fire brick as it makes moving the coals around throughout the grilling process a bit more difficult.

Great grill

Great grill. High quality and easy to assemble. Would definitely recommend

Happy with grill, but packaging could be improved

Overall, I am very happy with the grill. It is extremely well built, substantial, and once assembled it looks and feels like a serious piece of equipment. I have already completed the initial burn-off and, so far, I am very pleased with my purchase. My only disappointment was the condition of a couple of the powder-coated steel surfaces when I opened the box. There were some scuffs and a chipped area where the coating had been removed down to the bare metal. Considering the size, weight and pri...

10/10

This app is incredible. Every build at home item should be on here!!

Well worth it.

I’ve had this grill for a little over a month and I love it. It is well made, easy to put together and great to cook on.

Grilling Perfection

This XL Argentine Santa Maria grill is an absolute game-changer! From the moment I fired it up, I knew I'd made the right choice. The craftsmanship is incredible, super sturdy, and it holds heat like a dream. Every steak, every chicken, every veggie comes off with that perfect smoky flavor and sear. It's truly a 5-star experience for anyone serious about grilling!

Really Great Grill

Love this grill. I did my research. This was definitely the best value. Takes a little time to put together but it’s not hard.

Wow! This is a great addition to my grill arsenal!

Super sturdy construction! I am extremely impressed. assembly was a breeze thanks to the BILT app combined with the manual.

A True Live-Fire Cooking Experience🔥🔥🔥

I've cooked on a lot of equipment throughout my career, and I can honestly say the Argentine Santa Maria XL has been a pleasure to cook on. The fire control is intuitive, the build feels solid, and it delivers the kind of live-fire experience I was looking for. I've already put it to work cooking for family and friends, and it's quickly become the centerpiece of my backyard. It gets people talking before the food even hits the grill. If you're passionate about cooking over wood fire and love bri...

perfect for the price.

The Santa Maria / Argentinean Grill is absolutely fantastic. Hits the sweet spot on price vs Quality just right. The lower priced ones I research seemed to be of lower quality and the more expensive ones just seem overpriced. The grill is well built of solid materials. This should last a very long time. So much fun to grill on. CW

Heavy Duty

I have used this grill a few times so far and I am happy with the results. The grill is very well made and it looks like it will last a very long time.

Taking Open Fire Cooking To Next Level

I purchased the Premium Argentine/Santa Maria BBQ Grill after completing a 7-Day Open Fire Cooking Challenge. During that challenge, I quickly discovered that my existing grill was not designed to handle burning wood as a primary cooking fuel. It worked fine for charcoal, but once I started exploring open-fire cooking, I needed something built for both wood and charcoal. After researching different options, I decided on the BackYard Discovery Premium Argentine/Santa Maria Grill, and so far, it ...

Great grill and excellent quality

Update to my previous review.. So far, the only thing that I would say is negative about the grill is the firebox. It would be very helpful if there was some sort of hinged door to allow it to be opened and closed on the front of the firebox. I have had some hot embers and coals fall out of the front of the firebox during the cooking process. I feel that it would be an easy fix to have a steel door that would latch in place to keep this from happening.

Exceeded expectations

I searched for a Santa Maria for a while and was between this one and another one that was twice as expensive. I ended up getting this one and just put it together today. First, with something this large I was expecting to have to drill something out, look for extra bolts/ parts and have to wait to use it. Everything was there and it all bolted right together. I put it together by myself and it took a total of three hours with a few break worked in. The quality of the grill, the metal, and wood ...

Perfect grill

Bought this for my wife's valentines gift she absolutely loves it been cooking on it for days thank you so much

What I was looking for, for my "asados"

new

A pure entertainment center

I own a Webber and a Green Egg, but I've always wanted to grill Argentinian style, but every time I looked at a Argentine Santa Maria Grill, they were way too expensive, up in the 5 to 7K. So when I found this one, I decided to give it a try. First of all, the assembly was so simple. The instructions were visual and well defined, every bold had a number and what was best, it had extra bolt, just in case I lost one. Another great detail, I don't particularly like the Argentinian V shape of t...

Love it.

This is a great Santa Maria style grill. It well built with heavy enough materials to stand up to many years of use. I love that a quality cover is also provided with the grill. The grates are easily removed from their cradle for cleaning. Great price for what you get and better when you can buy it on a sale.
