Tagwood BBQ BBQ12SI Santa Maria Gaucho Grill
Tagwood BBQ BBQ12SI – Santa Maria Stainless Steel Gaucho Grill with 360° Live-Fire Control
The Tagwood BBQ grill collection is built for serious live-fire cooking, and the BBQ12SI brings traditional Argentine grilling mechanics into a premium freestanding format. This Santa Maria-style gaucho grill is designed for wood-fire and charcoal cooking with adjustable cooking surfaces, a rear clamp grill, and a comprehensive 360-degree grilling layout built for high-capacity entertaining. All food-contact areas are made from 304 stainless steel, while the rest of the grill is made from cold-rolled steel for strength and durability in repeated high-heat use. Built for backyard asado enthusiasts and hosts who prefer real flame management over push-button convenience, the BBQ12SI delivers a versatile, hands-on outdoor cooking experience with multiple live-fire surfaces and traditional hanging capability. For more premium setups, you can also explore our outdoor cooking collection for high-performance grills and live-fire entertaining solutions.
Santa Maria Elevation System for Adaptive Heat Control
The BBQ12SI uses a true Santa Maria-style elevation system that lets you control heat by raising or lowering food over the flame rather than changing burners or fuel settings. Its adjustable cooking surfaces make it easier to sear, roast, or finish foods at different intensities while maintaining a more natural live-fire workflow. For cooks who want precision without sacrificing authenticity, this system supports better timing, cleaner staging, and more consistent results.
360° Gaucho Cooking Layout with Multi-Surface Flexibility
This Tagwood BBQ gaucho grill is engineered for a structured Argentine grilling process with multiple surfaces working together. The layout includes a firebox, hooks for hanging food, a two-level warming rack, an additional secondary grate positioned above the firebox, and a rear clamp grill for asador-style cooking. That flexibility makes the BBQ12SI especially appealing for entertaining, multi-course grilling, and live-fire service.
304 Stainless Steel Food Zones with Firebrick Heat Support
Durability and thermal performance are central to the BBQ12SI design. The food-contact areas are made from 304 stainless steel for dependable corrosion resistance and easier maintenance, while the cold-rolled steel structure adds strength for demanding outdoor use. The firebrick-supported cooking chamber helps stabilize heat and support sustained live-fire sessions.

Designed for live-fire hosts who want more than a standard backyard grill, the BBQ12SI combines Santa Maria control, stainless steel food-contact areas, and traditional asado workflow in a premium format that stands apart from conventional BBQ grills.
Its rear clamp grill, hanging system, warming rack layout, and secondary grate over the firebox make it a strong choice for outdoor kitchens and entertaining spaces where workflow, flexibility, and authentic flame control matter as much as capacity.
