Why Choose the Split Santa Maria Grill?

This isn't just a grill; it's a dual-zone cooking machine. The Split Firebox Design features two independent grilling sections with separate side wheels. This allows you to sear steaks over high heat on one side while slow-roasting vegetables or chicken on the other—simultaneously.

• Fuel Versatility: Engineered to perform perfectly with either Wood or Charcoal, giving you total control over your flavor profile.

Customize Your Grilling Surface

Because our grills feature a split design, you can mix and match! You can request one type of grate for the left side and a different kind for the right.

1. Round Rod Grate (Standard): Excellent for maximum heat exposure, adding a "flare of fire," and achieving deep, smoky flavor.

2. Argentine V-Grate with Drip Pan: The pro choice for fattier cuts. It channels grease away from the fire into a drip pan, minimizing flare-ups.

3. Expanded Metal Grate: A dense surface perfect for getting a unique all-over sear or grilling smaller items like shrimp and veggies that might fall through standard rods. 

4. Upgrade NSF Certification
