Received my OnlyFireOutdoor Santa Maria add-on for my 22" Weber Kettle. I'm impressed. Did my first cook using my new Paella Pan yesterday.
This is an ideal way to control the fire. Typically you use the vents to raise or lower the amount of heat, but that's too slow. Lower the temp? Then raise the grill! Hats off to the cowboy in Argentina who came up with this idea decades upon decades ago.
Assembly instructions are basic. Instructions omit how to level the grill on the cables. Figured it out while cooking. But then it was too hot to adjust. The brackets that stabilize the grill are a bit loose and so grill can wobble from side to side. I think I'll adhere some hi-temp gasket on each of the insides of the bracket tabs.
The grill for the 22" Weber fits in the grill ring. And the kettle cover fits over the grill when the cooking grate is fully raised to put the fire/coals out.
I looked at other makers of type of item. One was over $400 that was one solid welded unit. Since I need to store it in a small shed, I like the fact that just 6 screws/nuts enable it to to be collapsed for easy storage.
Definitely recommend for grill enthusiasts!
