Tagwood BBQ The Beast BBQ02SIB – Argentine Santa Maria Gaucho Grill with 1,700 sq. in. Live-Fire Cooking Space
A crowd-scale black Santa Maria gaucho grill with 6 distinct zones for true wood-fire and charcoal cooking.
1,700 sq. in. of grilling space spans six zones — main grate, swivel grill, warming rack, clamp grill, and dual height-adjustable secondary grates — giving you room to sear, roast, warm, and hang meats all in one live-fire session. The Santa Maria elevation system raises or lowers your cooking surface by hand, and independent clamp-grill height control adds even more precision for true gaucho-style technique. Food-contact components — grates, hooks, shovel, poker, griddle, and clamp grill — are 304 stainless steel, while the black cold-rolled steel body gives The Beast a bold, statement presence. At 778 lb with a firebrick-lined base, this is a serious freestanding centerpiece built for spacious outdoor setups and real wood-fire cooking.

Deep Dive — Santa Maria Control & Six-Zone Layout►
Santa Maria Height Control for Precision Wood-Fire Cooking
The signature advantage of a Santa Maria grill is control: the adjustable elevation system lets you fine-tune heat intensity by moving food closer to the fire for searing or higher for gentler roasting. The BBQ02SIB also includes clamp-grill height control, giving you even more flexibility for true gaucho-style cooking over wood or charcoal.
Six Distinct Grilling Zones for Versatile Live-Fire Cooking
This gaucho-style setup is designed for multi-zone cooking, giving you the flexibility to prepare mains and sides at the same time while managing different heat levels across the grill. The six-zone layout includes the main grate, swivel grill, warming rack, clamp grill (asador), and dual height-adjustable secondary grates with meat hooks for a full 360° live-fire cooking experience.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take►
This one's for the host who wants a genuine statement piece, not just a bigger grill. The black finish sets it apart visually, and six working zones mean you can run mains, sides, and warming all at once without the fire ever slowing you down. If you're cooking for a handful of people or don't have serious outdoor space, this is more grill than you need — at 778 lbs and over 9 feet tall, it commands real room. Worth knowing before you buy: the body is cold-rolled steel rather than stainless, so it needs the same basic upkeep as any coated steel — keep it dry and wipe it down after cooking to protect the finish.
- Hosts who want a bold black centerpiece for weekend gatherings and holiday cookouts
- Live-fire purists who want independent Santa Maria control on both the main grate and clamp grill
- Buyers who prioritize stainless steel at the food-contact points over a fully stainless body
- Anyone with real outdoor space who wants crowd-scale, six-zone cooking capacity
