Last winter I was in search of a Santa Maria Style grill. I looked at the Engelbrecht Grills but along the way found
http://www.azbbqgrills.com/ After looking hard at both I went with one from Arizona BBQ Outfitters and so far I love it (but have only been using it about two weeks). I've also been very impressed with his customer service and attention to detail. He doesn't have a drop in grill like the Braten Campfire but you might want to check out some of his grills.

I know but the original post sounded like he was looking at the 1000 series.

Yep. True, and your cooker is an absolute beauty. Wish that company would make a similar item though. Seems like a great option for a do it yourself.

These grills are made 20 minutes from me just outside Paxton IL, I drove by their shop daily when I worked at my last job, they have an old firetruck they have converted the house and pump area into a mobile pit, it is really badass. President Obama just bought one for some Prime Minister last year as a gift, it was all over the news around here. I have not personally stopped by their because it does not seem to be a store front, just a shop, there are 2 guys that build them, Father and Son I think. I am sure they would not throw a fit if I stopped by but I changed jobs and do not get that way during the week very often if at all.

Thanks... I know they are family owned & obliviously built in the USA. The quality seems to be there but I think they loss out on price. |

I just recieved my Braten Campfire Argentine. The build quality is excellent.
I am going to build a pit with a recess for the grill to sit in. First I need to figure out where to put it, under the patio or out in the open. I also need to figure out how deep to make the recess, the top of the grate is 8" above the floor as it sits. |

Yes the floor is concrete with a ceiling height of 8'-4", I have been cooking under it with a BGE with out any problems. With the Argentine grate I am hoping the flare ups will be minimal, but this is my first Santa Maria style grill.

At least the way I use mine, I run a pretty good campfire then cook over the coals, but my fires would not work in an 8' ceiling. So I think I would plan on setting it up just outside the roofline by at least a few feet. I would lay out a couple layers of firebrick for a base, then a 2-3 rings of landscape bricks so the grate is roughly level with the top when it is all the way down. Good luck, let us see the outcome?
