About This Build
The drop-in design means the fire basin sits flush into your outdoor kitchen countertop or island — no exposed frame, no freestanding legs. What you see above the counter is the cook surface, the wheel crank, and the polished stainless accents. It’s a built-in appliance with the cooking capability of an open-fire pit.
The chain-lift height adjustment gives you precise control over your fire distance. Wind up the 28″ wheel crank to raise the grate away from the coals for a gentle cook, or drop it low for a scorching sear. That control is the whole point of Santa Maria-style cooking, and having it built into your outdoor kitchen means it’s always ready.
Who It’s For
This grill is specified by outdoor kitchen designers, masonry contractors, and homeowners who are building a serious outdoor cooking setup. If you’re planning a stone or concrete island, a covered outdoor kitchen, or an entertainment patio, this drop-in gives you live-fire capability without a freestanding unit taking up floor space.
The 48 3/8″ fire basin width fits a standard outdoor kitchen opening and can be dimensioned for custom builds — contact us to discuss your specific layout if you have measurements to work with.
