Tagwood BBQ23SS XL Argentine Santa Maria Grill – 304 Stainless Steel

Master the authentic art of Argentine Asado with the Tagwood BBQ23SS, an extra-large freestanding Santa Maria-style grill designed for the dedicated wood-fire enthusiast. Voted "Best Argentine Grill" by BBQGuys, this high-performance masterpiece is handcrafted entirely from premium 304 stainless steel, offering extreme durability and professional-grade fire control. The BBQ23SS is the XL evolution of our best-selling models, providing a massive 1,117 square inches of total grilling space to accommodate large-scale gatherings and complex multi-zone cooks.

Combining traditional Gaucho engineering with modern convenience, the BBQ23SS allows you to manage heat with pinpoint accuracy. Whether you are searing thick ribeyes over glowing embers or slow-smoking chorizos on the integrated meat hooks, this grill delivers the unmistakable flavor of open-fire cooking in a sophisticated, heavy-duty package.

Precise Santa Maria Heat Management

The core of the BBQ23SS is its iconic Santa Maria-style elevation system. By using the smooth side-wheel (or optional frontal elevation), you can raise and lower the main grates from 2.5” up to 20” above the coals. This provides absolute control over heat intensity throughout the cooking process. The firebox is lined with heavy-duty firebricks that optimize heat retention and distribute warmth evenly, protecting the stainless steel structure and ensuring efficient fuel consumption for both wood and charcoal.

XL 4-Zone Culinary Versatility

Engineered for maximum flexibility, the BBQ23SS features four distinct cooking zones: a large height-adjustable main grate, a dedicated secondary grate over the firebox, an interchangeable griddle for delicate items, and S-shape meat hooks for vertical roasting. The integrated gaucho-style brasero allows you to prepare perfect embers quickly, dropping them naturally beneath the cooking surface. With its foldable side table, built-in bottle opener, and specialized drain system, every detail is optimized for a seamless outdoor chef experience.
