Advice for Argentinian or Santa Maria style grill top
Hola, mis amigos. Our son-in-law from Patagonia has limited funds. He wants an Argentinian or Santa Maria style grill, but wants to build a concrete block base, firebricks on top of that in order to save money. And Ahumadora, we aren't welders! Lo siento. So, he needs to buy the top part. When I look at Sunterra, they include the whole firebox. He wants just the top, from the grill up. Anybody have advice, links, suggestions?
Muchas gracias,
Daniel
ps: This is cooking right now on what my SIL can't afford. Nuestra yerno y cordero. Rolled boneless lamb shoulder, with salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. FOGO charcoal surrounded by oak and alder.

Reason: Photos didn't load first time. And, the lamb was delicious!
You can build a base with short walls where the parrilla sits with expanded metal for the parrilla. Cut short bars of 3/4" round bar or concrete reinforcing rod for the fire to sit on. No welding required. As I have said before you don't need all that crap to raise and lower the parrilla. Here's some ideas https://images.app.goo.gl/P8eq2HiQb6QnEy8X9

I see I'm a little late to the party with this but I did get the Gabby's grill attachment with the upgraded grate for my 22" Weber kettle and I haven't looked back. Thing is fantastic. Worth the money and solidly built.
