FAQ

How to Season my Santa Maria Grill Inserts Grates?

A high flash point seed oil is the recommended method. Apply the oil on the steel and slowly heat it, either on a grill grate in the oven at 350 degrees for an hour. Allow the steel to cool naturally to open and close the pores effectively capturing the oil.

What is the warranty on your Santa Maria Grill Inerts?

Each of our Santa Maria Grill Inserts include a 5-year craftmanship warranty.

Why choose a Height adjustable grill?

One of the biggest advantages of a Santa Maria grill is its height-adjustable grate system. No matter what fuel you use, flare-ups can happen. With a Santa Maria grill, you can simply raise the grate to move your food away from the flames and then lower it back down once the flare-up subsides. On a traditional stationary grill, your only option is to quickly remove all the food and wait for the fire to calm down—which is less convenient and can interrupt your cooking flow.

How do you ship Santa Maria Grill Inserts?

All Santa Maria Grill inserts ship via freight truck. This service is curbside only.

Can I Install my Santa Maria Grill Insert near flammable materials?

No, these grills are not like gas grills they get extremely hot on the outside. Even our firebrick lined floor and walls will reach temperatures of 900+ degrees depending on size fire lit. We recommend building your island will masonry or steel 2x4 or similar materials.

Should I vent my island for a Santa Maria Grill Insert?

We suggest installing 1 or 2 vents on your island. This facilitates the escape of hot air and prevents encapsulation, with vents ideally placed near the counter as heat naturally rises.
