My New Santa Maria Grill

[Jim White]

Can’t wait. I want a picture of you cooking on this, too. I can only imagine how happy you will be.

[Steve B]

Thanks Jim.
At least I won’t have to wait as long as I would if I went with an LSG. 😂😂😂 As much as I love all things LSG theirs is just too big for my space and too expensive for my budget at this time.

[Steve B]

Update: This bad boy is coming together. Body is basically done. Legs and wheels are on and the lower shelf is about to get welded up.

[Jerod Broussard]

Dewalt tools and an actual flat surface to build on, already a winner. Probably 10 minutes of grinding for every 30 seconds of welding.

[Steve B]

Oh Boy. This puppy is coming along nicely.
The bracket for the adjustable cooking grate is in and the shelves adjustable shelves are going on today.
I gotta say I’m pretty happy so far.

[ofelles]

So close!

My new soon to arrive Santa Maria Grill is finished and on the way to its new home. Mine 😁.
I’ll start a new thread after I get it and use it a couple of times to give a review.
Anyway here she is all finished up and awaiting packaging. Note the folding side shelves and the lid on top of the cooking grate. I had Cody make the lid to help extinguish the fire. Thus saving me some fuel for the next cook. Neat idea if I don’t say so myself. 😂

I've sent two PM's to you about a slight modification if this has not hit the cart to your house. Neither as showing up in my messages. If you don't get it, let me know.

[PNWsmoke]

Very nice Sir,
Whats your introductory offer?

[Clawbear57]

I'm jealous my friend. Can't wait to see it in action.

[barelfly]

Heck yeah!!!!!!!! What is the first cook going to be? Santa Maria style tri tip?

congrats on that great cooker!

[Steve B]

Thanks. Can’t wait till it shows up in my driveway.

Been thinking about what to cook first. Actually thinking of cooking a big ol Cowboy ribeye. But a tri-tip sounds pretty dang good too. And I got one of those in the freezer. 🤔 decisions decisions.

[hoovarmin]

Wow, Steve! This is gonna be great! Congratulations!

[Steve B]

Thanks Dave. I am pretty excited.

[ofelles]

Exciting! Looking forward to you using the new toy! How lung is shipping?

[Steve B]

Tooooo Long. Haha.
Yeah. This should a fun toy to play with.

[Huskee]

Envious, how exciting!

[CaptainMike]

Alright already, let's fire that sucker up!!

[Steve B]

Well. Last I know of, it’s was passing through New Mexico on Friday. Soooooooo. That might be a bit hard to do. I might be pretty tall with a wide wingspan, but I don’t think I could quite reach that puppy just yet. But I can try.

[CaptainMike]

That sounds like an excuse to me!

[Panhead John]

Steve B Ok, I’ve conferred with a few of the boys here and this is what we’re gonna need……

1. Pics of it when you first get it, all wrapped up and also unwrapped. [bonus points for pics of the delivery truck]
2. Your thoughts on the packaging/crating and how well, or not well, it was done.
3. Immediately notify us here, what you’re gonna do as your first cook, full photo array expected.
4. You mentioned doing a review of it after a couple of cooks. We will need at least 8 hours notice before posting your review….we need time to have the popcorn ready.

[Steve B]

Got it all in the plans already Johnny Boy. 😁

[Jim White]

I need Panhead John to share his method for low and slow popcorn that takes 8 hours to cook.

[Panhead John]

Well, uh, I could be getting my nails done or something and need a little notice.

[Steve B]

Just a teaser. And the bonus point pic for
Panhead John

Sweet, just in time for the rib cook off!
