Tagwood BBQ18SI Argentine Style Grill – Chief Series All-Black Edition

Elevate your outdoor cooking with the Tagwood BBQ18SI, a heavy-duty freestanding Argentine grill that combines industrial strength with a sleek, modern aesthetic. As part of our exclusive Chief Series, the BBQ18SI features a bold all-black finish crafted from high-quality cold-rolled steel coated in heat-resistant paint. Designed for those who demand authentic wood-fire results in a practical format, this grill provides a total of 713 square inches of potential grilling space, ensuring you have the room and control to master any "Asado."

Handcrafted for durability and superior fire management, the BBQ18SI uses premium 304 stainless steel for all food-contact surfaces. Whether you are searing artisanal cuts or slow-roasting traditional delicacies, this grill offers a professional-grade Gaucho experience right in your own backyard.

Heavy-Duty Fire & Grate Management

The BBQ18SI is built for high performance and longevity. It features a manually adjustable grate system with two preset positions, easily operated by specialized lifting hooks to quickly shift between high-heat searing and lower-temperature finishing. The integrated firebox brasero speeds up coal ignition, while the firebrick-lined base and sidewalls optimize heat retention and protect the steel structure, ensuring efficient fuel use for both wood and charcoal.

Versatile Backyard Grilling Station

Designed to be a complete cooking hub, the BBQ18SI includes a top lid and a front storage drawer for your tools and essentials. For maximum flexibility, the unit is equipped with four heavy-duty swivel casters, allowing you to easily reposition the 267 lb grill as needed. The BBQ18SI can be further customized with a range of professional accessories, including side tables, interchangeable griddles, and a secondary grate, allowing you to build the ultimate custom configuration.

Maintenance & Care

As a cold-rolled steel grill, the BBQ18SI requires periodic maintenance to preserve its distinctive black 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 tools and clean the 304 stainless steel grates with a food-safe degreaser to maintain their high-performance condition.
