Tagwood BBQ12SI Argentine Santa Maria Grill – Professional 360-Degree Grilling

Take your open-fire mastery to the elite level with the Tagwood BBQ12SI, a massive freestanding Gaucho grill engineered for the ultimate 360-degree grilling encounter. Known as "The Beast on Steroids," this model is handcrafted for those who demand professional-grade capacity and a staggering variety of cooking surfaces. While the heavy-duty main body is constructed from durable cold-rolled steel, every single component that touches your food is crafted entirely from premium 304 stainless steel, ensuring maximum hygiene and a lifetime of performance.

With up to 2,000 square inches of total grilling space, the BBQ12SI is designed to be the undisputed centerpiece of any large-scale gathering or professional outdoor event. From slow-roasting whole cuts asador-style to high-heat searing on height-adjustable grates, this grill provides the pinpoint control needed to deliver an authentic Argentine "Asado" on a massive scale.

Advanced 6-Zone Versatility

The BBQ12SI is a culinary powerhouse featuring six independent cooking zones: a large height-adjustable main round grate, a secondary swivel grate over the firebox, a specialized 360° rotating clamp grill at the rear for vertical roasting, an interchangeable griddle, a two-level sliding warming rack, and a dedicated roofing grid for additional smoking or warming under the hood. This modular setup allows you to manage multiple proteins and sides at their perfect temperatures simultaneously.

Professional Fire & Heat Control

At the core of the BBQ12SI is the iconic Santa Maria elevation system, allowing you to raise and lower the main grates with a smooth side-wheel operation to find the perfect "sweet spot" for searing or slow-cooking. The integrated gaucho-style brasero facilitates fast ignition of wood or charcoal, while the base is lined with heavy-duty firebricks to distribute heat evenly and protect the steel structure, ensuring efficient fuel use and long-term durability.

Maintenance & Care

As a cold-rolled steel unit, the BBQ12SI requires periodic maintenance to preserve its sleek finish. We recommend light sanding and the application of high-temperature protective paint if signs of oxidation appear. Regularly clear ash from the firebrick base using the included shovel and poker, and clean the 304 stainless steel grates with a food-safe degreaser to maintain their high-performance condition.
