Santa Maria Style Ranch Grill

Complete Control, Custom Grill Design

If you cook for your family, your extended family, your neighbors and big groups of friends, you need a Santa Maria Style Ranch Grill. Our grills feature a massive, uncovered cooking platform that gives plenty of room for everything you throw on it. With the ability to use real hardwood, you can elevate your grill skills and amaze your guests with open flame cooking.

What makes a Santa Maria Grill different is its movable grill grate.

Use the hand crank to raise or lower the entire surface for unbeatable temperature control. With up to 30" of vertical travel the is no more burning meat or waiting forever for it to cook. You get mouthwatering results every time.

Our Argentine V-Grates are a grillers dream! Solid steel V-Grates are sloped back to front to funnel juices away from the fire and into the removable collection trough. NO MORE FLARE UPS!

Drop the grate right down on the coals for a quick hot sear, then raise to any level to complete the cook. You have complete control to easily raise and lower with little effort required.

How to choose the best santa maria style grill

Custom Santa Maria Style Grill Built for One Customer at a Time

How do you choose the best Santa Maria Grill for your home or business? How do you know what size to buy? Why should you choose a Santa Maria Style grill from Texas Ranch Grills? So glad you asked.

What the Best Have in Common

Nothing beats the flavor of meat cooked over an open fire. And nothing is worse than the disappointment that comes with buying a grill and finding out it doesn't perform or hold up as expected. Look for quality materials and expert workmanship. Texas Ranch Grills uses only high quality, high gauge steel, and welds everything in house. That means your grill delivers precise temperature control, easy operation and lasting durability.

Choosing A Santa Maria Grill Size

If you have an existing outdoor kitchen space into which you need to fit your Santa Maria Grill, let us know and we can design yours to fit any sized opening. If you don't have any constraints, we always recommend sizing up. This type of grilling is known to draw a crowd by smell alone. You're going to want all the room you can get.

What Can You Cook on a Santa Maria Style Grill?

This type of open flame grilling is typically used for beef (traditionally tri-tip), but because of the hand crank, our grills are extremely versatile. Cook anything you would make on a regular grill and prepare to be amazed by the results. If you're making the traditional fare, serve it with a tossed salad, pinquitos beans, garlic bread and salsa.

Is This Type of Grill a Texas Thing?

Actually, Santa Maria Style grilling dates back to the mid 1800s when ranchers (living around Santa Maria) who owned sprawling spreads would hold celebration feasts for their vaqueros or cowboys. In more recent history, Ronald Regan held several Santa-Maria style feasts at the White House during his presidency.

What if I Don't Need to Feed an Army?

If you want to enjoy cooking over a wood fire with the adjustable Santa Maria Style Grill but you don't need to feed the masses, our Trail Boss Grill is just the right size for families and small friend groups.
