Wood Fired Santa Maria Style Grill with Adjustable Round Bar Grate
The Frontier is Sunterra's entry into Santa Maria grilling. It keeps the part that matters, a flywheel that raises and lowers the grate over live coals, and trims the rest to hit a lower price. 12-gauge steel instead of 3/16-inch plate. An open firebox with an ash vent instead of firebrick. A cable drive instead of chain. Roll it out, spin the wheel down to sear, spin it up to roast. Built in the USA.
Frontier Santa Maria Grill Features
- Crank-wheel height control. A heavy flywheel with a cool-touch handle and cable drive lifts and lowers one full-width grate. Low for steaks. High for chicken.
- 3/8-inch round bar grate. Heavy steel rod for classic grill marks. Seasons dark like cast iron with use.
- Ash vent and tray. Sweep ash through the vent in the firebox floor into a removable tray below. Cleanup takes a minute.
- Open firebox. No firebrick lining, so the box heats fast and cools fast. Good for weeknight cooks.
- 12-gauge steel, high-temp paint. Paint rated to 1200°F in charcoal. Unlike the rest of the Sunterra line, the Frontier has no primer coat, so keep it covered and touch up scuffs. Pick a red or charcoal flywheel above.
- Heavy-duty cart. Storage shelf underneath, removable side shelves for your board and tongs, and 5-inch casters, half of them locking. Lift the grill off later and build it in if you want.
- Coal rake included.
How to Use a Santa Maria Grill
Step 1. Light it. Build a fire of lump charcoal or split oak in the firebox. Crank the grate all the way up while it burns down.
Step 2. Spread the coals. Once the flames settle, rake a thick bed on one side and a thin bed on the other.
Step 3. Set the height. Spin the wheel down for tri-tip and ribeye. Spin it up for chicken thighs and sausages.
Step 4. Clean up. Once it's cold, sweep ash through the vent and empty the tray.
What to Cook on a Wood Fired Santa Maria Grill
- Sear: Tri-tip, ribeye, burgers. Grate low, 3 to 4 minutes a side.
- Roast: Whole chicken, pork loin, corn in the husk. Grate high.
- Slow cook: Beef ribs, pork shoulder. Grate at the top, thin coal bed.

Frontier Santa Maria Grill FAQ
How is the Frontier different from the regular Santa Maria? Thinner 12-gauge steel, no firebrick, no primer coat, cable drive instead of chain, and round bar grates only. It's the same cooking method at a lower price.
Will it rust? It's painted carbon steel without a primer coat, so care matters more. Keep it covered, dry it after rain, and touch up scuffs with high-temp paint.
What do I burn? Lump charcoal, split hardwood like oak, hickory, or mesquite, or both. No gas, no electricity.
How long until it ships? Each grill is made to order in the USA. Plan on about 4 to 6 weeks, plus shipping.

Estimated Delivery Time
Post shipment, anticipate your items within a timeframe of 3-5 business days. We utilize UPS and FedEx for smaller items. It's crucial to note that more substantial items and certain orders are dispatched via freight. Freight shipping is somewhat more intricate compared to regular parcel deliveries, hence understanding the process in advance ensures a smooth delivery experience.
Freight Shipment Specifics
The majority of freight items are shipped on pallets. Some delivery companies will reach out to fix a delivery slot, whereas others aim to drop off your order at the most accessible spot nearest to your home, preferably close to a garage. The shipping confirmation email will detail the specific delivery procedures to anticipate.
For Scheduled Delivery
Companies that arrange delivery slots necessitate your presence for the delivery and your signature for confirmation. Deliveries are made using a semi-truck with lift gate service, placing the shipment by the curb. Should you grant permission for the delivery to be left unsupervised, BBQ Kitchen Pros cannot assume responsibility for any ensuing damages. The process might seem daunting, but for a comprehensive understanding, we recommend you peruse our thorough freight delivery guide to prevent unforeseen challenges.
For Non-Scheduled Deliveries
Delivery services that don't operate on appointments don't mandate your presence or a scheduled delivery slot. There's also no signature required upon receipt. Without the hassle of scheduling or waiting around, let the delivery come to you. If you're home during the drop-off, the driver can be asked to place your items in the garage. If you're away, they'll position it close to the garage or main entry.
