Videl Brasa II Santa Maria Grill: a wood fired grill with a crank raised grate
The Videl Brasa II Santa Maria Grill is a freestanding grill for cooks who want real wood fire and the smoke that comes with it. It is made of 304 stainless steel and sits on wheels. The grate gives you about 838 square inches for cooking for a crowd. A side table folds out when you need prep space and folds down for storage. There is storage below, too. Videl is the outdoor kitchen brand of The Outdoor Plus, which builds it in Ontario, California.
Santa Maria style means you control heat by raising or lowering the food over the coals. Turn the crank wheel to lower the grate for searing or lift it for gentler cooking. The deep firebox holds a bed of coals for a whole cook. It burns wood or charcoal, with no gas line needed. Only the rotisserie motor plugs in. The rotisserie turns food over the fire, from a whole chicken to a leg of lamb. Prefer a built in grill? See the Videl Gran Fuego Grill. The Videl Brasa II Santa Maria Grill ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What is a Santa Maria style grill?
It is a wood-fired grill with a grate you raise and lower over the fire, a style rooted in Santa Maria and Argentinian barbecue traditions. Instead of turning a knob, you control cooking temperature by moving the food closer to or farther from the coals, which sets it apart from the fixed-grate designs in our BBQ grill collection.
Does it burn wood or gas?
This is a wood-fired grill; the specifications list wood as its fuel. The deep fire box is built for exactly that, giving you room to establish a deep, even bed of coals that lasts through a full cooking session and delivers the authentic wood-fired flavor the page describes.
How do I control the cooking temperature?
With the Santa Maria style elevation system: an easy-to-use height adjustment that raises or lowers the grill grate over the fire. Drop the grate low for hard searing, lift it for slow, gentle cooking, and fine-tune anywhere between. The page describes the adjustment as smooth, giving you full control over cooking temperature.
Can it handle rotisserie cooking?
Yes. The built-in wood-fire rotisserie system rotates up to 85 pounds of meat, which the page notes is enough for a whole chicken or a juicy leg of lamb. Slow rotation over the wood fire is one of this grill’s signature capabilities alongside the adjustable-height grate.
How much cooking area does it offer?
The grate provides 838.5 square inches of grilling space, which the page says is room to cook for a crowd, whether that is burgers, ribs, or a full rotisserie roast. Between the open grate and the rotisserie, you can run large cuts and quick-cooking items in the same session.
How much space does it take up?
Plan for a footprint of 64 inches wide and 55 inches deep, standing 80 inches tall. A foldable side table gives you prep space or a spot for tools while you cook, then folds down for storage, and there is built-in storage space to keep grilling essentials organized at the grill.
What is it made of?
The grill is built in 304 stainless steel, the corrosion-resistant grade suited to living outdoors, with a sturdy stainless finish the page describes as combining style and durability. That construction is what lets a wood-burning grill of this size stay a permanent fixture in your backyard rather than a seasonal piece.
