Tagwood BBQ12SS XL Argentine Santa Maria Grill – All 304 Stainless Steel "Beast on Steroids"

Experience the ultimate 360-degree open-fire encounter with the Tagwood BBQ12SS, the largest and most feature-rich model in our collection. Known as "The Beast on Steroids," this massive freestanding Argentine Santa Maria-style grill is handcrafted entirely from premium 304 stainless steel. Engineered for professional-grade performance and maximum versatility, the BBQ12SS offers an unparalleled 3,363 square inches of total grilling space across six independent cooking zones.

Whether you are hosting large-scale events or catering professional gatherings, this unit is designed to be the undisputed centerpiece of your outdoor kitchen. Every component that touches your food, along with the entire heavy-duty chassis, is built to withstand the elements and provide a lifetime of authentic "Asado" excellence.

Total Fire Mastery & Precision

The BBQ12SS is defined by its iconic Santa Maria-style elevation system and an independent height-adjustable rotating clamp grill (asador). Use the precision side-wheels to raise and lower your grates, giving you absolute control over heat intensity—from high-heat searing at 1.5” to low-and-slow roasting at 12”. The integrated gaucho-style firebox (brasero) facilitates rapid wood or charcoal ignition, while the firebrick-lined base ensures superior heat retention and protects the stainless steel frame.

Unrivaled 6-Zone Culinary Versatility

Designed for the serious outdoor chef, the BBQ12SS includes a massive height-adjustable main round grate, a secondary swivel grate over the firebox, an interchangeable griddle, a two-level sliding warming rack, and a dedicated roofing grid for additional warming or smoking under the hood. The system also includes standard and extended S-shape meat hooks for traditional vertical roasting. With its four-sided protective roof and double access doors, you can maintain professional-level control rain or shine.
