Description

The StarBBQ 24" Santa Maria Charcoal Grill (STARBBQ-24CHBS-SMR-RSE-EXG) from Sunstone Metal Products is a height-adjustable charcoal and wood grill for searing and slow cooking in the Santa Maria style.

A smooth, cool-touch crank raises and lowers the grill rim. The raised sear rim insert puts food closer to the coals for a good crust and sear marks while keeping airflow up. The ExGrate expanded grate spreads heat evenly and is easy to clean, and sausage hooks on the adjustable rim let you hang sausages or other meats.

The grill is 304 stainless steel on a stable charcoal base built for heavy use. It measures 28" W x 40" H and 36" long, and weighs 65 lbs.

Great Santa Maria grill

Really happy with this 24 inch grill. The crank for raising and lowering the charcoal is smooth, so I can sear steaks or slow cook ribs just how I want. Feels really sturdy and well built.

April K.★★★★☆September 28, 2023
Great grill

Been using this Santa Maria grill for a few weeks and I'm really impressed. 24 inches is a good size for my family and the crank for the grate works great for managing heat. Big upgrade from my old kettle grill, especially for the smoky flavor.

Claire P.★★★★★April 2, 2024
Everything I hoped for

This grill is everything I hoped for. You can tell it's built well, and Santa Maria style cooking turns out great every time. Tri-tip, chicken, being able to adjust the grate makes all the difference.

Emilio D.★★★☆☆August 5, 2017
Good, but a bit pricey

Solid grill and it cooks well, I got the Santa Maria flavor I was after. For the price though, I expected some accessories or maybe a cover to come with it. Good grill, value could be better.

Bryan S.★★★☆☆March 22, 2019
Decent grill, some small issues

The adjustable height is really useful for different cooks. My main gripe is the assembly instructions could have been clearer, and there were a couple of small scuffs when it arrived. Cooks well, but those little things added up.

Questions & answers

Q
How hard is it to put this grill into an outdoor kitchen island?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
With basic DIY skills it's straightforward. It drops into a 24-inch cutout in your island. The manual has clear step-by-step instructions, and setup usually takes 1 to 2 hours once the opening is ready.

Q
What's this grill made of? Will it hold up in my backyard?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's heavy-gauge stainless steel, which is very durable and resists corrosion outdoors. The whole grill, adjustable height system included, holds up in all kinds of weather and keeps working and looking good for years.

Q
Can I use different charcoal or wood chunks with the adjustable height?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Yes. You can use lump charcoal, briquettes or wood chunks for different flavors. Raising and lowering the grates gives you good control over temperature, from high-heat searing over direct flame to low-and-slow smoking with indirect heat and wood chips.

Q
What's the warranty on this grill, and what if I have a problem?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Coverage details are on our warranty page. If you have an issue, contact us with your order number and we'll help with troubleshooting, parts or service.

Q
I'm worried about cleaning ash and grease. Is this grill easy to maintain?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Yes. There's a removable ash pan at the bottom, so getting rid of ash is quick and clean. The stainless grates clean up with a regular grill brush, and the stainless body wipes down with a damp cloth and mild cleaner.
