The Santa Maria

When you’re cooking for your family, and your extended family, and the neighbors, and everyone within smelling distance, you need a BBQ with a lot of space. A Santa Maria BBQ is perfect for the job. It features a large, uncovered platform-style coal bed for cooking large amounts of food. But what makes it unique is a BBQ grate that can be easily raised or lowered by a hand crank to provide heat control. When the coals are hot, you raise the grate to avoid burning. As the coals burn down, you lower the grate to maintain the perfect cooking temperature.
