Most grills are disposable. Thin steel warps, rusts through, and burns out in a few seasons, and you buy another, and another. The SM60XL is the end of that. Fabricated from 1/4-inch American plate with a 60 by 30-inch cooking surface and powder-coated iron cross, it is built to take fire every weekend for the rest of your life and still be standing for the next pair of hands. You will not replace it. You will hand it down.

Cast iron chrome-coated handwheelA substantial finished control point for precise grate-height adjustment, built to match the weight and construction of the cooker.
1/4-inch American plate throughoutQuarter-inch plate is standard construction, not an upgrade. The added mass provides structure, heat stability, and durability through repeated live-fire cooking.
Heavy-duty hardware throughout4-inch bullet hinges, 1/2-inch solid-rod spring handles, heavy-duty shelving, and hardware selected around the weight and demands of the completed cooker.
Built out from the startShelves, hanging rack, stainless hooks, fire-management tools, iron cross, and the core cooking systems are included in the XL configuration. You are buying a complete live-fire cooker from day one.
Mortared firebrick constructionThe cooking chamber is lined with firebrick set in refractory cement, not simply laid loose. The finished installation secures the brick in place and helps prevent water, grease, and debris from passing through open joints.
American steel
The weight is the lifetime.
Every SM60XL is cut, tabbed, and welded by hand on Long Island from 1/4-inch American plate. Built one at a time, not mass produced. The mass you feel when you move it contributes to heat stability, structural rigidity, and the durability required for repeated live-fire cooking.
Argentine tradition. American fabrication. Forged for a lifetime of fire.
