Tagwood BBQ02SI Argentine Santa Maria Style Gaucho Grill – The Ultimate 360° Grilling Experience

The Tagwood BBQ02SI is the pinnacle of the "Beast" collection, offering a comprehensive and professional 360-degree wood-fire grilling encounter. Handcrafted for the serious outdoor chef, this freestanding Santa Maria-style grill is built with a heavy-duty cold-rolled steel body and finished in a sleek, heat-resistant black coating. To ensure maximum durability and food safety, every food-contact surface—including the grates, griddle, and meat hooks—is crafted from premium 304 stainless steel.

With a massive 1,700 square inches of total grilling space across six independent cooking zones, the BBQ02SI is engineered to handle everything from high-heat searing to authentic asador-style slow roasting. Whether you are hosting a large neighborhood gathering or a precise multi-course asado, this grill provides the ultimate platform for fire management and culinary creativity.

Unmatched 6-Zone Versatility

The BBQ02SI stands in a class of its own with six distinct grilling areas: a large height-adjustable main round grate, a swivel secondary grate, a specialized 360° rotating clamp grill (asador), an interchangeable griddle, a dedicated roofing grid, and a sliding warming rack. This modular design allows you to manage varied proteins and side dishes at their perfect temperatures simultaneously, providing a truly professional gaucho-style workflow.

Professional Fire & Heat Control

At the heart of the BBQ02SI is the iconic Santa Maria elevation system combined with an independent height-adjustment for the clamp grill. This dual-zone control allows for pinpoint heat management—simply use the side-wheel to raise or lower your grates to find the "sweet spot" for searing or slow-cooking. The unit features an integrated gaucho-style brasero for rapid charcoal or firewood ignition, and a base lined with heavy-duty firebricks to distribute heat evenly while protecting the steel chassis.

Maintenance & Care

As a cold-rolled steel grill, the BBQ02SI requires periodic maintenance to preserve its finish. We recommend light sanding and the application of high-temperature, rust-preventive paint if signs of oxidation appear. Regularly clear ash from the firebrick base using the included shovel and poker, and wipe down the stainless steel grates with a food-safe degreaser to maintain their high-performance condition.
