Frequently Asked Questions
What is the point of a Santa Maria grill?
A Santa Maria grill is designed to provide superior heat control through an adjustable grate system. This system allows you to raise or lower the grill surface over an open fire, allowing you to sear meats at high temperatures or slow-cook them at lower heat levels. It is a perfect choice for those who enjoy traditional, wood-fired cooking with versatility and precision.
What is the difference between a Santa Maria grill and an Argentine grill?
While both grills use open-fire cooking, the key difference is their grate design and heat management. A Santa Maria grill features a height-adjustable grate, allowing for direct control over cooking temperatures. Argentine grills, on the other hand, have V-shaped grates that channel grease away from the fire, reducing flare-ups and enhancing heat distribution. Santa Maria grills are more suited for searing and grilling, while argentinian grills excel in slow cooking and smoking meats.
What is the best meat for a Santa Maria grill?
The most iconic cut for a Santa Maria grill is tri-tip, a flavorful and juicy beef cut that benefits from the grill's high-heat searing capabilities. Other great options include ribeye, tomahawk steaks, pork ribs, lamb chops, and whole chicken. Additionally, the grill’s adjustable grate makes it easy to cook vegetables and seafood to perfection.
Can you slow cook on a Santa Maria grill?
Yes! The adjustable grate system allows you to control the cooking temperature, making slow cooking possible. By raising the grill grate, you can cook meats at a lower temperature for extended periods, ensuring tenderness and rich, smoky flavors. This feature makes the Santa Maria grill ideal for slow-roasting meats like pork shoulder, brisket, or ribs.

Perfect Grill for Open Flames
This grill was exactly what I wanted it to be. Fast shipping. East assembly. Worked perfectly. Cooking over an open flame gets you the flavor of smoking while allowing you to keep the meat rare if that’s what you are going for. And it’s much faster. One note only: I replaced the bolt and nut on the break for a Clevis pin, which won’t work it’s way out over time.
