Know before you buy
The 435-square-inch cooking area is well-suited for a standard family meal, comfortably fitting about 18 to 20 burger patties at once. It provides enough space to grill for a small to medium-sized group without feeling cramped.
Yes, the Santa Fe features an integrated analog thermometer on the lid. This allows you to keep an eye on the internal temperature without lifting the lid and losing heat.
The high-capacity ash drawer collects spent charcoal debris in one place, allowing you to slide it out and empty it once the coals are fully cooled. This design minimizes the need to reach into the firebox to scoop out ash manually.
The side shelves are designed for standard food preparation, such as holding plates, seasonings, and grilling tools. While they are convenient for staging, they are not intended to support heavy items like large cast-iron pots or heavy coolers.
As a freestanding cart model, it is designed to be mobile. However, because it is a charcoal grill with a steel construction, it is best suited for flat, paved surfaces rather than soft grass or uneven terrain.
