New Santa Maria Grill by Lone Star Grillz...🤔Would this work for you?

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Man Justin now that was a walk around review right there Folks!! You are correct, I love cooking prime rib!!! ha ha Thank you for introducing me to all the Maniac's, oh wait Hi Maniac's nice to meet you!!!!!! haha The LSG Santa Maria is so much fun to cook on and the wood flavor is so amazing!!! If you enjoy cooking this pit should be on everyone's bucket list because the satisfaction you get after a job well done is very hard to match!! Great video bud and I really am happy to hear that I am not a communist!!!! hahahahaha

[@pacemetalfab]

Your description of the Santa Maria type grill being a "set it and forget it" type grill is well said. The ergonomically friendly campfire is spot on too :)

[@taccosnachos]

This is definitely a dream cooker. My only suggestion for lone star would be to add an additional perpendicular layer of expanded metal to the coal racks to keep those smaller coals from falling through. Looks like the backyard is getting crowded!

[@BabyBackManiac]

It really is getting crowded. I'm going to have some tough choices to make before too long. Thanks for watching!

[@turtlepowersf]

The other thing is the fact that the brasero design doesn't allow you to sweep the coals from the brasero box to the cooking chamber. Having to shovel them all the way out and then back in seems like a pain. I'm sure they can come up with a design that integrates the brasero into the cook chamber

[@SDSBBQs]

Oh yeah buddy I missed you! This I fantastic can't wait to see more from you and this!

Great walk around Justin. I received my Lone Star Santa Maria in January 2020 right before they offer this grate system. I will be converting mine over to that system within the next couple months. It’s been a blast to cook on. I smile every time I use mine also. Thanks for sharing

I believe this is the mid-sized model,although the largest you can have that their Rotisserie will fit on.

[@BabyBackManiac]

Victor is correct (as usual). They make a 36 (and also a 60)

[@benh580]

Now you need us Californians to send you some tri-tips. I'll trade for brisket lol. That thing looks amazing.

I got mine in Costco in Goleta, CA for $299 it's made by Santa Maria Grills. 20x30". Very common around here in the 805. I also added a charcoal/wood grate to keep the coals up off the bottom for better air flow under the wood so you have better airflow and cleaner burning wood.

Expanded metal cooking grates is what this model used to come with, I know because I have one. Unfortunately I took delivery of my LSG SMG last December and to my disappointment this grill was updated to include these new style grates you are showcasing like a month later. If I had only known or been informed, by LSG while My SMG was still in production, i would have gladly waited a month or longer for this new grate, and gladly paid more as well.

Looks like a really well designed and built grill - as one would probably expect of LSG. I’m a little surprised that the crank wheel isn’t standard. It seems like it usually is on ones that nice. Not a criticism - I’m always okay with people giving me the option to save some money if I choose.

Fyi, although I agree the whell is how I will order mine because it looks so cool. However the crank is very effective and preferred by many so I'm just happy Lonestargrillz offers it at all. Have a great day.

I don't think you are paranoid. I won't use the brassero on a really windy day, but I don't think it will be an issue under normal circumstances in the main chamber with the access door up. It's really deep. It's important to be careful though.
