Tagwood BBQ BBQ02SS "The Beast" – All Stainless Steel Argentine Gaucho Grill

Experience the pinnacle of open-fire cooking with The Beast (BBQ02SS), a world-class Argentine Santa Maria-style grill designed for the ultimate "Asador" experience. Crafted entirely from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, this freestanding masterpiece delivers an expansive 1,700 square inches of total grilling space. Built to withstand the elements and perform in any weather, "The Beast" is the definitive choice for those who want a professional-grade centerpiece for their outdoor kitchen.

With 6 distinct cooking zones, including a specialized 360° rotating clamp grill and height-adjustable grates, this grill provides the versatility to master high-heat searing, vertical roasting, and slow-smoking all at once. Every detail—from the protective four-sided roof to the firebrick-lined base—is engineered for performance, durability, and complete fire mastery.

Professional Fire & Temperature Control

The BBQ02SS features the iconic Santa Maria-style elevation system with a smooth crank-wheel, allowing you to raise and lower the main grates from 1.5" to 12" above the coals. The integrated gaucho-style brasero facilitates rapid wood or charcoal ignition, with embers dropping naturally to the firebrick-lined base. These firebricks distribute heat evenly while protecting the stainless steel frame, ensuring consistent temperatures and an extended product lifespan.

Unrivaled 6-Zone Culinary Versatility

"The Beast" is a culinary powerhouse, offering six unique grilling areas: a large main height-adjustable round grate, two swivel secondary grates, an interchangeable griddle, a sliding warming rack, and a 360° rotating clamp grill (asador) for traditional slow roasting. The system also includes 16 S-shape and extended meat hooks, allowing you to hang and smoke large cuts or sausages in the gaucho tradition.
