Videl Brasa II Santa Maria Grill — Freestanding Argentine Wood-Fired Grill

Some cooking can't be rushed, and shouldn't be. The Brasa II is a Santa Maria and Argentinian-style grill built on the oldest principle there is — the cook moves the food, not a dial. Hardwood or lump charcoal burns in an open firebox below. A cast steel wheel raises and lowers the grate over the coals. Sear hard and fast, then lift away and let a large cut come slowly to temperature. The adjustment takes seconds, and it never leaves your hands.

Built entirely from 304 stainless steel with 838.5 square inches of cooking surface, the Brasa II carries a fire deep enough to hold through a long service. It rolls on heavy locking casters, so it can be staged where people are gathered and rolled back when the evening is over.

Made to order. Cancel free within 24 hours — any reason, full refund, no fee. After 24 hours your order is released to the manufacturer and cannot be cancelled or returned. Freight damage must be reported within 2 business days of delivery. View our full shipping & returns policy.

The elevation system

A hand crank drives the grate up and down a toothed rack — the defining mechanism of Santa Maria cooking. There are no burners, no settings, no flame tamers. Heat is managed by the fuel bed and by height, which is precisely why the flavor is different.

Built for service

Live-fire cooking has become the centerpiece of event catering, and the Brasa II is sized for it. The open grate lets a chef work several cuts at different heights at once, and the whole unit rolls to wherever the guests are — a courtyard, a terrace, a staging area behind the house. It is equally at home as the anchor of a private outdoor kitchen.
