Tagwood BBQ BBQ23SS XL – Argentine Santa Maria Grill with 304 Stainless Steel
An XL Argentine Santa Maria grill with four cooking surfaces built for serious backyard entertaining.
1,117 sq. in. of grilling area spread across a height-adjustable main grate, a secondary grate, an interchangeable griddle, and 8 S-shape meat hooks gives you real flexibility to grill, warm, and roast at the same time. The Santa Maria elevation system puts the heat in your hands — lower the grate for a hard sear, raise it as your coals mellow into a slow roast. The brasero firebox runs charcoal or wood, and fire bricks help keep heat even through longer cooking sessions. Built entirely from 304 stainless steel and rolling on swivel casters with an attached side table and bottle opener, the BBQ23SS is a heavy-duty centerpiece made for regular use and serious entertaining.

Deep Dive — Multi-Surface Santa Maria System►
Santa Maria Elevation Control for Precise Live-Fire Cooking
The BBQ23SS features a traditional Santa Maria elevation system that lets you control cooking temperature by adjusting the height of the main grate above the fire. Lower the grate for more intense searing or raise it for gentler roasting and slower live-fire cooking as your charcoal develops.
Four Cooking Surfaces for More Flexible Outdoor Grilling
This XL Argentine grill is built for cooks who want more versatility than a single-surface charcoal setup can provide. The BBQ23SS includes a main grate, a smaller secondary grate, an interchangeable griddle, and 8 S-shape meat hooks so you can grill, keep food warm, and manage different foods at different heat levels in the same session.
Brasero Firebox with Fire Brick Heat Support
The integrated brasero supports a more controlled live-fire workflow for charcoal or wood cooking. Fire bricks help distribute heat more uniformly, improve temperature consistency across the grill, and support long-term durability during repeated high-heat cooking.
304 Stainless Steel Construction for Long-Term Outdoor Durability
From the main body and grates to the secondary grate, griddle, and meat hooks, the BBQ23SS is built from 304 stainless steel for premium corrosion resistance and long-term outdoor performance. This heavy-duty construction makes it a strong fit for buyers who want a substantial live-fire grill built for regular entertaining and serious backyard cooking.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take►
This one's for the backyard cook who wants to run more than one thing at a time. Four separate surfaces mean you can sear on the main grate, hold food warm on the secondary, and griddle vegetables all in the same session, without swapping equipment. If you cook for just a couple people at a time, this is more grill than you need — a single-grate model will do the job and cost less. Worth knowing before you buy: at 485 lb and nearly 5.5 feet wide, this needs real patio space and a clear delivery path, so measure before you order.
- Serious backyard cooks who want more than a single grate's worth of flexibility
- Live-fire enthusiasts who want manual Santa Maria heat control across multiple zones
- Buyers who want a freestanding, mobile setup rather than a built-in installation
- Hosts who regularly cook multiple dishes at different temperatures in the same session
