At the core of the El Dorado’s design is a dedication to the classic Santa Maria style grilling, combining traditional techniques with modern innovation to offer a premier culinary tool for both home cooks and professional chefs. The El Dorado series blends robust construction with meticulous craftsmanship to redefine open-fire cooking and deliver a superior grilling experience that promises lasting enjoyment.
Whether you’re searing a steak over a blazing coal bed or slow-roasting a large cut over an open wood fire with an elevated grate, this grill provides an exceptional live-fire cooking experience. The ability to cook with charcoal or wood for a distinctive flame-kissed flavor is unmatched.
Efficiency:
Engineered for optimal heat distribution and effectiveness, the firebrick construction ensures even heat for both charcoal and wood. The spacious floor design allows for the creation of multiple heat zones, facilitating perfect meal preparation. It supports various fuel types including lump charcoal, charcoal briquettes, wood chunks, and splits, delivering versatile and optimal cooking results.
Innovation:
The cantilever arms offer unobstructed access to the cooking area from all sides and are designed to be removable for easy maintenance throughout the grill's lifespan. The 10-gauge firebox is surrounded by a 3-inch air gap and a 12-gauge outer shell. This design, combined with the firebrick-lined interior, keeps the outer surface cooler, extending the lifespan of the grill and enhancing the cooking environment.
Value:
Proudly made and designed in the USA, the El Dorado features 12-gauge stainless steel V-Channel grates that manage grease and drippings effectively. The height-adjustable grates, operated by a heavy-duty chain drive with 15 inches of travel, allow precise temperature control for perfectly cooked meals. Front-access drawers make ash and grease cleanup simple, while an insulated drop-down front door provides easy access for adding more fuel.
Mobility:
The El Dorado’s cart is built from heavy-duty steel, handcrafted, and finished with a durable 1200-degree powder coat for long-lasting performance. The cart is supported by 10-inch cast iron locking casters, ensuring durability and stability for years to come.
