Handcrafted Santa Maria / Gaucho-Style Rolling Hearth Grill – Built in Western Kentucky, USA
Overview:
Experience the heritage of open-fire cooking with a handcrafted Santa Maria / Gaucho-style grill built right here in Western Kentucky. This heavy-duty, rolling hearth grill is designed for serious pitmasters and outdoor chefs who demand superior performance, long-lasting construction, and authentic flavor.
Each unit is carefully built by hand in our shop—not mass-produced—and reflects a commitment to American craftsmanship, precision engineering, and durable materials you can count on for years of backyard memories.
Key Features:
🔧 Built to Outlast – Not Your Average Steel
Unlike mass-produced models with thin sheet metal, our grills feature 1/8” thick mild steel construction throughout the frame for exceptional strength and durability. The firebox is built even thicker for enhanced heat retention and fire resistance.
⚙️ Precision Engineering – Smooth Cranking, No Squeaks
While others use steel-on-steel contact, we equip our grills with oil-impregnated bronze bushings and roller bearings on the drive shaft. This delivers an ultra-smooth lifting action—no squeaking, grinding, or jamming.
🔥 Heavy-Duty Grate – Walk-On Strength
Our cooking grates are so robust, you can literally walk across them without flexing. Engineered for serious heat and weight, they're paired with a gear-reduction, ratcheting lift system that allows effortless one-hand operation with a locking action at every crank.
